IPO, or initial public offering
Māori translation:
Definition
An Initial Public Offering, or IPO, is the process of a company moving from private ownership - owned by their founders, financial backers and employees - to a public company, where the shares are listed on a share market for anyone to buy and sell. It’s sometimes also referred to as going public. Learn more about how IPOs work and how to research shares.
