Heev npaum li cas rau IPOs

Raws li koj tej zaum nco, txoj kev tshua (tsis muaj lwm txoj kev qhia txog tej yam nws) kawm ntawv LinkedIn mus hauv ntuj pej xeem nyob rau hauv tus cim LNKD. Nws cov IPO (thawj zaug offering public, los yog tso cai thawj zaug ntawm shares Tshuag nram khw) yog valued $45 ib feem. Tom qab ntawd hnub, LinkedIn shares tau trading tom $122.

LinkedIn's IPO was hyped, tab sis nws tsis ua?

Kaw tom LinkedIn $94 ib feem, rau lub ntim ntawm 30 lab shares. Tsis ua phem rau ib hnub ua haujlwm. (Cov tshooj xov xwm.)

 

So when the internet radio station Pandora announced it would go public on the 14th of June, investors were eager to get their hands on some shares. If LinkedIn could double its price in a day, couldn’t Pandora?

Things started well for Pandora. Pandora’s IPO was valued at $16 ib feem, and on its first trading day (Lub rau hli ntuj 15) it reached $26 at one point.

But then the collapse. 2 days after its IPO, Pandora fell to $13 ib feem (article.) LinkedIn has fared slightly better; it’s only slid to $68 ib feem. That’s a considerable amount more than the original IPO, but it’s quite a far cry from the $94 from opening day.

Meanwhile, rumors are floating around that the mighty Facebook is planning on going public with a $100 billion IPO. That’s probably an exaggeration, but I’m fairly sure Facebook is considering going public sometime soon.

Although with the current state of tech IPOs like LinkedIn and Pandora, I’m not sure how Mr. Zuckerberg feels about that.
