Hot IPO

    0.08 sec.
Hot IPO
An initial public offering that is widely followed and demanded by the market. Hot IPOs are often oversubscribed, which results in the stock price surging as soon as it is offered on the market.

Notes:
The late 1990s saw one of the hottest IPO markets ever. There was so much demand for internet stocks at this time that nearly all of them were oversubscribed, leading to substantial gains during the first days of trading. For example, Priceline.com saw its stock rocket 325% to $68/share from an IPO price of $16 in a single day.
