Ebd 481 Ipo Lecture

1) Going public through an initial public offering (IPO) is an expensive and complicated legal process that involves filing documentation with the SEC and hiring an investment bank to underwrite the offering. 2) The IPO process takes 6-8 weeks and includes filing a preliminary prospectus, conducting a "road show" to market the offering to investors, setting an offering price, and beginning public trading of the stock. 3) After going public, the stock price is often initially higher than the offering price, but long-term performance is mixed - stock prices may end up overvalued or underperform the market over time.
