InvestED: The Rule #1 Investing Podcast

442- Sketchy Going Public


Listen Later

Going public with a company, while often seen as a significant milestone, comes with several risks. The increased regulatory and compliance requirements can be burdensome and costly, and publicly traded companies must adhere to strict reporting standards which demand substantial time and resources.


Going public also exposes a company to scrutiny from shareholders and the public at large, which can bring heightened pressure to meet short-term financial targets at the cost of long-term strategic decisions. All of this weighs heavily into the consideration of whether or not a company should pursue an IPO.


After several weeks of discussing penny stocks, Phil and Danielle explore the reasoning behind why some companies choose to make this move while others are content keeping ownership private.
