Nasdaq IPOs

Today, we analyze the long-run performance of IPOs to determine whether this performance justifies large IPO pops.

What happens when a company that’s been generously funded finally decides to go public? Today, many such companies are opting for a Direct Listing, an alternate path to public ownership that offers some advantages over an IPO to meet these companies’ specific objectives.

The IPO market has boomed this year, building momentum from 2020 as a wave of companies look to tap the public markets. But the manner in which companies are going public has expanded beyond traditional IPOs to SPAC listings and direct listings, such as Coinbase.

The CEO of Grab, a popular app to book taxis, order food and make payments in Southeast Asia, has always been determined to win -- from making his firm the best-funded regional start-up to defeating behemoth Uber Technologies.

For retail investors seeking private-equity type growth and returns in their portfolio, SPACs offer an opportunity to participate in the listing of a private company at the IPO price. While SPACs provide some downside protection, individual investors should be aware of the risks.

Similar to Nasdaq’s historic first quarter for its U.S. exchange, its European markets, with seven exchanges across the continent, welcomed a record 32 listings during the first quarter, representing the most listings during the period in its history.

Nasdaq hit a record first quarter after it welcomed 275 Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) that raised $74.4 billion in total proceeds.

U.S. budget carrier Frontier Airlines is already making money and flying more than in 2019 before the coronavirus pandemic upended air travel last year, Chief Executive Barry Biffle told Reuters ahead of the company's Nasdaq debut on Thursday.

Announcements of companies going public via SPAC seem to have been hitting the news with such frequency that it is rare for one to get major attention. That can’t be said of the news that WeWork is partnering with the Bow Capital SPAC BowX (BOWX)

There are some signs that we could be headed for a pretty big dip right now, and I am looking in a seemingly unlikely place for confirmation or refutation of that view
