Why Not All IPOs Are Identically Profitable? The most successful and unsuccessful placements of shares on the stock exchange

2020 a difficult year for those on the market. He then fell under the pressure of panic, then soared on a wave of euphoria. About 5 million new financiers came to the exchange, creating a suitable background for IPOs (IPO).

As well as, last year there was a reduction in the main rate, what made bank deposits an unprofitable inventory, because the securities market has become a good alternative. For 2020 G. nine new Russian issuers emerged, who entered the market through IPO. With all this with 2015 on 2019 yy. as a result, there was 18 new companies, better known among them: TCS Group, X5 Retail Group, RUSAL and Detsky Mir.

What is a similar IPO?

Initial Public Offering (IPO) – the initial public arrangement of shares on the stock exchange, as a result of which the company becomes recognizable, also attracts money.

With all this, financiers receive securities of the organization among the first and most often with a discount to the cost of location.. But, despite the discount, the acquisition of assets through an IPO incurs huge costs within itself - payment of broker commissions, depository and tax payments. This amount can reach 6-seven percent of the contract amount.

At 1st hours, when there is an overstated demand, rising prices can make up for all costs and bring significant profits. But this profit is unrealistic to fix, for the reason that, that the organizers set a lock-up period, or the period of the superimposed block (3–6 months), when shares cannot be sold, acquired in the process of disposition. This is done for the purpose, to exclude manipulation by serious participants.

All Russian shares went through the IPO function and ended up on the MICEX thanks to the initial placement or listing.

An additional driver was the transition to escrow accounts, That, contrary to expectations, turned out to be an advantage, and not an obstacle for developers.

Earlier when using an equity participation agreement (DDU) developers were forced to sell real estate in the early stages, reducing profits. Now developers use their own or borrowed funds, selling real estate in the later stages, thereby maximizing your profit.
