Understand how companies move from private ownership to a public listing with a structured exploration of the Initial Public Offering (IPO) process. In this course, you will examine IPO modelling concepts, the primary market, and how companies use IPOs to raise capital. You will evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of going public, assess corporate growth opportunities and market risks, and analyze the sequential stages of the IPO journey.
You will also compare fixed price and book building methods, examine IPO grading factors, and evaluate the role of merchant bankers in preparing a company for public listing. Finally, you will interpret post-IPO price-stabilization mechanisms, including the Green Shoe Option and the responsibilities of stabilizing agents, to understand how IPOs are successfully launched in stock markets.
Designed for learners seeking a clear understanding of IPO analysis and public listings, this course combines foundational theory with practical insights into pricing, evaluation, market readiness, and launch. Its step-by-step structure enables you to analyze IPO decisions, distinguish key pricing methods, evaluate listing preparedness, and understand the mechanisms that support a successful stock market launch.
