IPO

An IPO, or Initial Public Offering, is a process where a private company offers its shares to the public for the first time on a stock exchange, thereby becoming a publicly-traded entity. It is a primary method for companies to raise capital from public investors.

Why it’s in the news: It is in the news due to a surge in IPO filings and valuations, alongside high-profile companies like Mynt and Anthropic preparing for their own offerings.
