initial public offering (IPO)

    0.04 sec.
initial public offering (IPO)
A company's first sale of stock to the public. Securities offered in an IPO are often but not always those of young, small companies seeking outside equity capital and a public market for their stock. Investors purchasing stock in IPOs generally assume very large risks for the possibility of large gains. See also pre-IPO.
