Initial Public Offerings (IPO) means that this is the first time a private company decided to sell their shares publicly. IPOs back in technology bubble at 2000 was a steal, as most people earned a lot just by subscribing these IPOs.
IPOs will create a lot of hype among the investors, and that is what majority shall avoid. When there is a lot of people talking over this new stock, means many people tend to invest into it. This will lead to the surge of valuation, where it will potentially causes the investors to lose money.
How does the recent 5 companies that perform IPO back in October 2020? (look for the picture below)
BUT are all IPOs will surge this much?
The answer is a solid NO!
The examples given below are at least one-year-old, which means investors that subscribe to these IPOs are still suffering losses, till this day.
Hence, research is still important when investing in IPOs. There should not be any differences when assessing IPOs with other companies. Since the share price will normally surge up after IPO, most of their future growth has probably been priced in, and this should be another consideration when investing IPOs.
Investors that subscribed to the IPO initially will have a certain lockup period where they can’t sell their shares for around 180 days. Hence, the share price may fall after the end of lockup period.
In short, IPO investment has a higher risk than normal stocks due to the uncertainties. However, if sufficient research has been done by the investors, investing in IPO is a good call as you will be able to buy the stock at a relatively low price.
IPO意味着这家公司是第一次上市，并决定把他们的股票卖给大众。在2000年互联网泡沫时代决定上市的公司都让订购IPO的投资者赚到笑。
新上市的公司将会让投资者们感到兴奋，而这恰恰就是大众应该要避免的事情。当很多人都在讨论时，就代表很多人会投资这家公司。这样公司的估值便会大大提升，而有机会让投资者们蒙受亏损。
在2020年10月上市的5家公司又有怎样的表现呢? (请参考下方的图片)
但是是否所有上市的公司都会有如此涨幅?
答案是否定的!
下面的例子都至少是一年前了，代表着当时订阅了这些公司IPO的投资者们到现在都蒙受着亏损。
因此，投资新上市的公司时还是要做足功课，而不应该视IPO跟其他的上市公司不一样。既然股价大多数在第一天会飙升，也意味着公司未来的盈利也已经被纳入在了涨幅中，所以这也是在订阅IPO时需要考虑的元素之一。
订阅公司IPO的投资者们都会有一个禁售期，而他们在大约180天内不能出售股票。因此，在禁售期结束后，股价是有可能下滑的。
总结，投资在新上市的公司会因为很多不确定性而比普通股票来得更高风险。但是，如果投资者已经做足了功课，那订阅公司的IPO就变得很合理，因为可以在低价时买入公司的股票。
