IPOs & FPOs: Apply Valuation Strategies

О курсе

Learn how companies raise capital through Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and Follow-on Public Offerings (FPOs), and develop the analytical skills needed to evaluate public offerings. You’ll explore IPO and FPO fundamentals, the role of investment banks, and the underwriting and book-building processes that support access to capital markets. As you progress, you’ll analyze the advantages, disadvantages, and key factors that influence a company’s decision to go public. You’ll also examine quantitative and qualitative factors in IPO readiness and apply valuation methods such as Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) and the Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio. Through valuation-driven analysis, you’ll assess share structures and deal size and distinguish IPOs from FPOs in real-world contexts. Designed for aspiring finance professionals, entrepreneurs, and investors, this course combines a clear foundation in IPO mechanics with practical valuation insights. By the end, you’ll be prepared to explain public-offering processes, evaluate IPO opportunities and risks, interpret deal structures, and compare IPOs and FPOs using professional valuation methods. Enroll to build focused, applicable knowledge for navigating fundraising and capital markets decisions.
