These are the upcoming IPOs (initial public offerings) for the week of July 22 to July 26, based on TipRanks’ IPO Calendar. An IPO refers to the public market debut of a private company. Following the IPO, the company’s shares become available for trade (sale/buy) on the stock exchange.
There are several advantages and disadvantages of a company going public. The positives include gaining the ability to raise capital, greater liquidity, and improved brand recognition. On the other hand, a publicly traded company faces stringent financial reporting norms, is constantly in the public eye and answerable to shareholders, and experiences high costs related to maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements.
The IPO market is gaining more traction this year, with challenges such as elevated inflation and interest rates showing signs of moderation. According to Bloomberg, companies raised over $20 billion through IPOs in the first half of 2024, with more firms expected to join the IPO market’s revival in the second half. With this background in mind, let’s look at the upcoming IPOs for this week.
