Bottom line
Generally, retail investors consider buying IPO stocks to get higher returns. However, this is not always true, and sometimes the stocks open below the desired price at the time of debut, and investors incur losses.
In 2022, many investors lost their money as the stocks of private companies did not receive the desired response and opened at lower prices. Hence, it is necessary to study market conditions before investing.
