/IPO Full Form
The full form of IPO is Initial Public Offering.
Ever seen a private company go public? That whole process is an IPO. The company splits its ownership into shares and sells them to regular people like us for the very first time. You apply for them at a fixed price before they actually start trading on the stock exchange. Some IPOs double your money on listing day. But a lot of them end up below your buy price if the hype was fake. It’s basically a gamble on a brand-new stock.
