An initial public offering (IPO) is the first sale of a company's shares to the public. Underwriting banks set a price range, gauge investor demand during a roadshow, then price the deal the evening before the stock starts trading.

Can I buy shares at the IPO price?

IPO allocations mostly go to institutional investors and select brokerage clients. Most individual investors buy once the stock opens on the exchange, often at a different price than the offering price.

Why do IPO dates change?

Companies postpone or accelerate offerings based on market conditions, SEC review timing and investor demand. Some deals are withdrawn entirely when markets turn volatile.
