Abstract

Abstract The nature of initial public offerings (IPOs) is examined, together with the benefits derived from pursuing an IPO. The typical steps involved with an IPO are summarized. Key trends surrounding IPOs are explored, including the tendency for shares to be under‐priced and for the firm that goes public to subsequently under‐perform. A number of avenues for further research on IPOs are suggested.
