You probably wouldn’t buy a car or make any other major purchase without doing some homework. The same rule applies to buying stock in an IPO. Reading the prospectus isn’t just fundamental. It could prevent heartburn or a hole in your bank account. Just three deals are on tap this week, and only two are […]

Two biotechs and a Midwestern bank make up this week’s IPO Calendar. That’s it. Bankers expect to raise $550.22 million from these three deals. This lineup extends the trend last week when five biotechs plus a Southern bank were set to go public. Two of those five biotech deals got pulled last week “due to […]

What’s different this week: DynaTrace is the only tech IPO on a calendar that includes a biopharmaceutical firm, a sushi bar chain and a Canadian cannabis […]

TheRealReal, an online consignment retailer of authenticated Hermes and other luxury fashion merchandise, is the name on everyone’s lips this week.
