Recently, there has been a lot of tech IPOs on the stock market. A report by FactSet says that the number of initial public offerings (IPOs) doubled in 2020, which is a 150% increase from 2019. The financial data company says that there were 494 IPOs in 2020 that raised $174 billion.
Even though the pandemic made 2020 an uncertain year for most industries, investors became bullish on tech stocks because the industry was able to adapt to the new norm. Many big companies let people work from home, which helped tech stocks soar and reach new heights. The NASDAQ-100 Technology Sector went up by 42.2% in the past year. Also, FactSet put out a report that said 15 IPOs by technology companies would raise $34.3 billion in 2020.
In 2020, a number of tech companies went public. Airbnb, Inc. (NASDAQ: ABNB) and DoorDash, Inc., both big names, were among them (NYSE: DASH). Palantir Technologies Inc., a software company based in Colorado (NYSE: PLTR), was another well-known company that went public in 2020.
Many companies have already gone public in the first half of 2021 through IPOs, SPACs, or direct listings. This seems to be a trend that will keep going. The Renaissance IPO Index, which is made up of U.S. companies that just went public and are listed on the stock market, has gone up by 38.6% in the past year. 46.9% of the Renaissance IPO Index is made up of the technology sector.
Confluent, Inc. (NASDAQ: CFLT), SentinelOne, Inc. (NYSE: S), Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: COIN), and UiPath, Inc. are all tech companies that recently went public (NYSE: PATH).
After its direct listing, the cryptocurrency trading platform Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: COIN) had the highest valuation in 2021 so far, at $86 billion. Coupang, Inc., an e-commerce company based in South Korea (NYSE: CPNG), had one of the biggest initial public offerings (IPOs) ever with a $60 billion valuation. Coupang, Inc.’s (NYSE: CPNG) IPO was able to bring in $4.6 billion. UiPath Inc. (NYSE: PATH) went public on April 22 and raised $1.3 billion. This was one of the largest software IPOs in the US.
There’s no doubt that IPOs are popular with investors because the initial share price can be a good deal. But investing in companies that just went public can make or break your portfolio. Doug Boneparth, a financial analyst, says that an IPO does not show where a company will go in the future.
Forbes also put out a report that said that between 1975 and 2011, 60% of recently public companies had negative returns. Experts say that investors could make a lot of money with new companies if they did their research and put in a small amount of money. Before investing, people should carefully think about the risks, costs, and fees.
Investing is getting harder every day, even for smart people. The changing financial landscape is having an effect on the whole hedge fund industry. Its reputation has been hurt by the fact that its hedged returns haven’t kept up with the unhedged returns of the market indices over the past ten years.
On the other hand, Insider Monkey’s research was able to find ahead of time a small group of hedge fund holdings that have done better than the S&P 500 ETFs by more than 124 percentage points since March 2017. Our monthly newsletter’s stock picks did 186.1% better than the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) between March 2017 and July 2021. Our stock picks did better than the market by more than 124%.
