Stocks Daily IPOs
The US IPO calendar since 2008: offer price range, final issue price, shares and size offered, and the listing date, for every offering that reached the market.
Shape measured at the next refresh of dataset_cards/facts.json. Refreshed monthly.
Why It Matters
First-day returns, the long-run underperformance of new issues, the hot-market cycle and the lock-up expiry all start from the same three facts: the offer price, the listing date and the size. None of them was in the catalogue; Stocks-Daily-Price begins on the first traded day and says nothing about the price the shares were sold at the night before.
date is the listing date, the first session the name trades. Offerings that never listed -- withdrawn, postponed, still pending -- have no such date and are left out.
