3.1 – The IPO Markets
Companies list on the stock exchange to raise funds. Once listed on the stocks exchanges, market participants can trade and invest in the company’s shares. This video will take you through the process and reason for companies to list on an exchange.
Once a company transitions from primary to secondary markets, the stock price constantly fluctuates. You must understand why the stock price fluctuates. Let’s move on to the following video to understand the same.
We recommend reading these Part 1 and Part 2 chapters of IPO Markets on Varsity to learn more and understand the concepts in-depth.
