Introduction

Stocks are traded on the stock market. However, before the public can trade, they must be made available. This is where an Initial Public Offering (IPO) steps into the picture. It is a company's grand debut as it enters the stock market. IPOs are amongst the most anticipated events in the world of trading.

This article introduces you to what an IPO means, its benefits, and the list of upcoming IPOs.

What is an IPO?

As the name suggests, an initial public offering (IPO) is the process through which companies list their stocks on the exchange. It is the first time a company's stocks are publicly available. Companies commonly undertake this move to raise the capital needed to fuel expansion, growth, and debt repayment. IPOs offer you a simple means of long-term wealth building by offering an affordable entry point and transparent pricing.

Before going public, companies usually hire investment banks to ensure the needed influx of capital from the IPO. To qualify for an upcoming IPO, companies are required to undergo vigorous due diligence and ensure regulatory compliance. The sellers in an IPO are the company's initial investors and promoters, while the buyers are institutional and retail investors.
