Frequently Asked Questions


An Initial Public Offering (IPO) is when a private company starts selling its shares to the public for the first time on a stock exchange. In other words, it’s an event of 'going public' — a company gets listed on an exchange and becomes accessible to common investors.

Through an IPO, a company raises capital that it later uses to fuel growth, pay off debt, or expand its operations. For investors, it’s a chance to buy shares in a business at the start of its 'public' life and then profit from the stock price growth later.
The easiest way is to track market news, prepare for an IPO, and buy a company's stocks after it goes public. But you can start the process earlier and secure the shares you want to buy:

- Check if you're eligible. Not all investors can access IPO shares. Some brokerages require a certain account size, trading history, or risk profile.
- Open an account with a broker. You’ll need a particular brokerage that takes part in IPO allocations.
- Review the prospectus document. It explains the company’s business, financials, risks, and goals for raising capital. It'll help you make an informed decision.
- Indicate your interest. Before the IPO, investors can request a certain number of shares through their broker.
- Wait for allocation. Once allocated, those shares are yours at the IPO price. Note: if demand is high, you may receive fewer shares than you requested — or even none.
- Trade. Once the company goes live, you can buy shares just like any other stock.

Remember: always do your research first and test your trading skills before committing real capital.
Buying pre-IPO stocks is more complicated than buying shares of a public company. They are typically sold during private funding rounds to venture capital firms, institutional investors, or accredited individuals, so even if you find a specialized broker, you may need to meet income or net worth thresholds. There are some alternatives if you are willing to access a private company:

- Secondary marketplaces. Accredited investors can purchase shares of pre-IPO companies directly from employees or existing shareholders.
- ETFs. Simply invest in funds that already have access to pre-IPO stocks.
IPO stocks are shares of a company that have just gone public through an Initial Public Offering (IPO). When a private company becomes available to the public, it lists its stocks on an exchange, so that everyday investors have the chance to buy into the business early.

These stocks often attract attention because they can offer high growth potential. At the same time, they pose higher risks, because the company’s performance on the market is untested and can change dramatically.

That’s why IPOs are often featured among stock market movers, drawing interest from traders looking for new opportunities.
Buying IPO stocks can give investors the chance to get in early on a company’s public life. If the business grows, early shareholders may see significant gains. Imagine buying Apple's stock back in 1980. IPOs also generate a lot of buzz, which can lead to quick price jumps on the first day of trading.

At the same time, IPO stocks can be very risky. Prices can be highly volatile in the early days, often moving more on hype than fundamentals. Plus, many companies are still unproven at scale, and some IPOs underperform after the initial excitement fades.

So, just like any other investment strategy, investing in IPO can bring gains, but it goes along with many risks, so it's crucial to perform a thorough analysis before committing real money. Track latest news, read trading ideas to know what other traders think, and more — all on TradingView.
