Part I:
An initial public offering is the first time an organization has issued shares to the public. Before the company went public, most of the individual investors were unable to invest in the company. But once the stock is bartered on the stock exchange - for instance, New York Stock Exchange or else Nasdaq - any investor can purchase it(Chaplinsky, Morita & Zeng, 2017).
Xiaomi
A recent Reuters report said that the lucrative smartphone maker Xiaomi Inc. is also eyeing the initial public offering in 2018. According to Reuters, after the revenue target of 2017 is as high as 18%, the company's profit this year will reach at least 1 billion US dollars, is expected to reach 2 billion US dollars in 2018, and has been listening to investment bankers' information on public offerings. According to an anonymous source quoted by Reuters, the $100 billion IPO valuation will be “reasonable” and a company spokesperson confirmed that the company’s revenue in 2017 will exceed $15 billion.
DocuSign
One company that is well-known for IPOs is DocuSign Inc., which develops technologies for managing digital documents and signatures. The San Francisco-based company told MarketWatch in July that its goal was to go public in early 2018. Founded in 2003, the company has deposited more than $500 million in funds at a valuation of $3 billion, creating a path for profit and revenue in multiples. 100 million US dollars. DocuSign declined to comment(Dam
a, Schonberger &Wasley, 2018).
I personally think that a new company with a solid foundation can be found on the IBD IPO Leaders screen. It has special screening criteria to find emerging stocks with strong fundamentals and technical characteristics. Also, read a story that highlights one or several cu
ent stocks in this list of valuable growth stocks.
Part II:
Wesfarmers is one of Australia's largest listed companies and retailers; it should come as no surprise to find it on this list. With approximately 220,000 employees, the company owns Target, Kmart and Coles. Revenue in 2014 was approximately $58.4 billion(Kallish, 2015). I will invest (purchase stocks) in this company, because in the next few years, analysts expect Wesfarmers to continue its recent growth, expecting dividend growth and profit growth in the next two years. Still, only three of the 15 analysts who followed Wesfarmers thought it was the level of buy today. At today's market price of about $41, Wesfarmers stocks are clearly not bargaining unless they can increase free cash flow and dividends, rather than their recent practice. “The directors today announced a full payment of a final ordinary dividend of around...
