This year has been a busy year in the Initial Public Offerings (IPO) market. Many companies have taken advantage of good stock market conditions and investors’ growing risk appetite to go public this year. Since the end of last year, I have noticed a growing interest from people to participate in some IPOs. These people were especially motivated by companies with high brand recognition that went public. For example, like Airbnb (December 2020), Affirm (January 2021), Bumble (February 2021), Roblox (March 2021), Coinbase (April 2021), Robinhood (July 2021), Warby Parker (October 2021). Therefore, it is worth wondering what the performance of IPOs has been so far in 2021.
