3 upcoming IPOs to watch

A Mediterranean restaurant brand, dehydrated food manufacturer and pharmaceutical company are expected to go public this month.

Over 60 companies have gone public in the US so far this year. The US IPO market has been slow in the first quarter of 2023, following the fourth quarter of 2022 in which over 60% of IPOs were withdrawn.

Interest rate hikes and inflation may discourage investors from buying newly-issued stocks, according to PwC. Investors will be drawn to companies that have a clear path to profitability backed by solid stock fundamentals.

Though the IPO market has been somewhat sluggish, here are 3 upcoming IPOs to watch in December 2024. There may be delays as business owners try to weigh the market and judge the best time to approach investors.

How to invest in IPOs

  1. Open a stock trading account. Trading platforms such as Robinhood, Webull and SoFi let you order some IPO stocks at the initially proposed price before these stocks hit the secondary market and become more widely available.
  2. Find the IPO stock you want to buy. Search for stocks by company name or ticker symbol (for example, “AAPL”), select the stock and enter the number of shares you want to buy.
  3. Review and submit your order. Place a market order to buy at the listed stock price, or place a limit order to buy in the future when the price is more favorable. Note that IPO stock prices tend to rise sharply immediately following a public offering but often taper off afterwards.
