IPOs

What is an IPO ? It is an owner who sells part of his company shares or who issues new ones to increase the capital and finance the growth of the company.

The arrival on the stock market of a new company is always an event. It could be a start-up, a large state-owned company that its government decides to privatize, or even a subsidiary of a listed group.

The stock market is always risky and you should not buy stocks if you are not prepared to take them. Before getting started, read all the information about the future listed company to fully understand its approach and its prospects.

If you are visionary and have flair, you can get very rich with IPOs without necessarily making a big upfront investment. For example Amazon went public in 1997 at $ 1.50 a share. The stock is now trading in November 2021 over $ 3,550. So if we had invested $ 150 at the time of the IPO, we would now capitalize $ 355,000, which is a multiple of 2367 !

For Tesla, the multiple since the IPO in November 2021 is still 315 in just 11 years. For some companies, you win twice : the share price of Française Des Jeux (the french gambling operator) has increased by almost 100% since its IPO in December 2019 but the company also distributes annual dividends of 2%.

Investments in securities and other financial instruments always involve the risk of loss of capital. Past performance does not guarantee future returns.
