Initial Public Offering (IPO)

    Respond to two different students in two separate paragraphs. Each paragraph should have 2 sources. Please message if you have any questions. I will provide the orginal discussion question, my response and the two students you will need to respond to. Example response: John Doe I agree with your discussion post……. PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND LIKE YOU ARE THE PROFESSOR. Feedback from the professor!!!! Only thing I would add as a challenge for you = bring your responses to others alive ending your thoughts with a question. This helps to drive the curiosity of others to your threads lighting a spark + fueling conversation Discussion Post Going Public Locate a recent story from The Wall Street Journal or other reputable news source about a company that has gone public through an Initial Public Offering (IPO) within the last year and review their S-1 filing. To locate this, search on EDGAR Company Filings or the investor relations section of their website. To avoid repetition, please find an IPO that other students have not discussed. • How did the company arrive at the valuation for the IPO? Consider the various valuation methods covered in Week 4, supply and demand based on hype, and peer comparables. • What was said publicly by the CEO/CFO and/or the bank that took the company public to support the initial stock price? • Was the IPO price justified? How has the price changed since the IPO? Be sure to consider overall market and segment performance to support your position.
