Comparison of Selected IPOs in Financial Markets

Abstract

An Initial Public Offering is the first time a company sells its shares to the public to raise money in the capital markets. Every stage of IPO preparation is critical because it is related to the development of IPO, so the company must attach great importance to the preparation. The approval-based IPO system protects investors' interests, and the registration-based IPO system makes it possible for most potential companies to go public. Alibaba is a company in the Internet industry, and investors are looking forward to the development of Alibaba. ICBC is a traditional industry company, and conservative investors prefer to invest in ICBC. The purpose of this paper is to compare the differences between the two IPOs through data.
