IPO “Spring” Might be Sooner than Experts Think
According to Bernstein Research, the IPO market for the next year (or two) is going to be about as successful as the Detroit Lions – in other words, not great.
But the IPO market might start picking up sooner than they think. With the amount of money sloshing around in Treasuries driving returns to near 0%. It stands to reason that investors will start looking for better things to do with their money.
In addition, private equity shops aren’t going to want to be “short stacked” for too long. Like a poker game, if you aren’t adding chips, you’re losing them.
The interesting thing is that Grand Canyon Education (Nasdaq: LOPE), which is the most recent IPO, has increased almost 50% since in November.
It’s a standout. Most IPO offerings in the last six months have been pulled, the remaining ones have lost sizeable amounts. Others, like Penthouse’ parent company, are finding that they are fighting lack of interest in addition to the chilly environment.
The take-away, is the recent IPOs that debuted in July and August like Rackspace Hosting (NYSE: RAX), GT Solar (Nasdaq: SOLR) and Energy Recovery (Nasdaq: ERII) have been brutalized by the market’s performance – perhaps unfairly.
Underwriters will probably err on the side of caution in pricing new IPOs – under-pricing them, and that could benefit early investors.

The Company Set to Dominate a $60 Billion-a-Year Market
$60 billion is spent on cancer treatment in the U.S. - each year. And one company is poised to receive the lion's share of it.
The medical director at the Alta Bates Comprehensive Cancer Center says, "...possibly a third of our cancer patient population will soon be undergoing this [company's] treatment."
Another doctor at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center says he intends to treat over 1,000 patients a year with this technology.
Here's how you can claim your stake in the company before this cash infusion sends shares soaring.
