Initial public offerings (IPO)
What is a U.S. IPO?
When a company undertakes an Initial Public Offering (IPO), it starts selling its shares to the public on an exchange, in order to raise capital. Its internal shareholders get a chance to sell their shares to institutions and retail investors.
Typically, an investment bank underwrites the process. The bank will determine a fair value for a company’s shares, buy the shares and then sell the shares to its network of funds, banks and investors through exchanges.
Stake through its broker-dealer, Drivewealth will endeavour to support U.S. IPOs on the Nasdaq or NYSE. As soon as these stocks are listed on the secondary market, they will become available for you to trade.
In some cases, an IPO launch and availability on Stake can be deferred. IPO dates are estimated and subject to change. In some cases, companies will postpone or withdraw their plans entirely. We’ll endeavour to make these new securities available on the Stake platform as soon as reasonably possible.
For any questions about upcoming IPOs on Stake, you can reach out to the Stake support team here.
