These are the upcoming IPOs (initial public offerings) for the week of September 30 to October 4, 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.
With this background in mind, let’s quickly look at the upcoming IPOs for this week.
