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.
