If the company has never issued equity to the public, it's known as an IPO. Going
public helps raises cash, and usually a lot of it. Being publicly traded also opens
many financial doors.
Why IPO?
- Due to the increased scrutiny, public companies can usually get
better rates when they issue debt.
- As long as there is market demand, a public company can always issue
more stock. Thus, mergers and acquisitions are easier to do because stock can be
issued as part of the deal.
- Trading in the open markets means liquidity. This makes it possible
to implement things like employee stock ownership plans, which help to attract top
talent.
IPO is just selling stock. It's all about the sales job. If you can convince people
to buy stock in your company, you can raise a lot of money.
IPO Process
- When a company wants to go public, the first thing it does is hire
an investment bank.
- The company and the investment bank will first meet to negotiate
the deal. Items usually discussed include the amount of money a company will raise,
the type of securities to be issued and all the details in the underwriting agreement
- In a best efforts agreement, however, the underwriter sells securities
for the company but doesn't guarantee the amount raised. Also, investment banks
are hesitant to shoulder all the risk of an offering. Instead, they form a syndicate
of underwriters. One underwriter leads the syndicate and the others sell a part
of the issue.
- Once all sides agree to a deal, the investment bank puts together
a registration statement to be filed with the SEC
- The SEC then requires a cooling off period, in which they investigate
and make sure all material information has been disclosed. Once the SEC approves
the offering, a date (the effective date) is set when the stock will be offered
to the public.
- As the effective date approaches, the underwriter and company sit
down and decide on the price. This isn't an easy decision: it depends on the company,
the success of the road show and, most importantly, current market conditions. Of
course, it's in both parties' interest to get as much as possible.
- Finally, the securities are sold on the stock market and the money
is collected from investors.
Short brief on IPOs
- An initial public offering (IPO) is the first sale of stock by a
company to the public.
- Broadly speaking, companies are either private or public. Going
public means a company is switching from private ownership to public ownership.
- Going public raises cash and provides many benefits for a company.
- Getting in on a hot IPO is very difficult, if not impossible.
- The process of underwriting involves raising money from investors
by issuing new securities.
- Companies hire investment banks to underwrite an IPO.
- The road to an IPO consists mainly of putting together the formal
documents for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and selling the issue
to institutional clients.
- The only way for you to get shares in an IPO is to have a frequently
traded account with one of the investment banks in the underwriting syndicate.
- An IPO company is difficult to analyze because there isn't a lot
of historical info.
- Lock-up periods prevent insiders from selling their shares for a
certain period of time. The end of the lockup period can put strong downward pressure
on a stock.
- Road shows and red herrings are marketing events meant to get as
much attention as possible. Don't get sucked in by the hype.
- A tracking stock is created when a company spins off one of its
divisions into a separate entity through an IPO.
- Don't consider tracking stocks to be the same as a normal IPO, as
you are essentially a second-class shareholder.
