Wall Street is wrapping up the best year for IPOs since the dot-com bubble. Companies are raising more money and investors have more new companies to choose from since those heady times.
The market for initial public offerings is headed into 2015 packing some powerful momentum thanks to the fertile conditions created by a record-setting performance in broad market and a tech resurgence that pushed the Nasdaq composite within reach of its 2000 peak.
And unless the stock market suffers a big flame-out, investors can look forward to IPOs from some well-known companies in the new year.
So what are some of the highly recognized companies expected to sell initial shares in 2015? Renaissance Capital put out a list of likely IPOs for next year. Here some that will probably ring a bell:
There will be the usual sampling of tech companies. Airbnb, Uber, Spotify and GoDaddy are all likely to make their debut.
In the consumer space investors can look forward to snacking on the likes of restaurant chains Shake Shack and Smashburger.
Others considering IPOs include luxury car maker Ferrari, Spanish-language media company Univision, mobile payment company Square and Clear Channel, the king of the U.S. radio station industry.
But experts say there’s a big difference between a well-known company and one that is a good IPO investment.
“The most talked-about (IPOs) are the ones you need to be the most careful of because they are the most hyped,” says Kathleen Smith, IPO ETF manager at Renaissance.
Consider what happened to Alibaba (BABA) and King Digital Entertainment (KING) in 2014.
Alibaba, the Chinese version of Amazon, lived up to the hype, and is up roughly 60% since its September IPO. King, the company behind the highly popular video game Candy Crush, lived up to its game’s name and got crushed, and is still down more than 25% from its March IPO price.
And the best-performing IPO was one that most average investors had probably never heard of: Auspex Pharmaceuticals (ASPX), up more than 300% since February.

L’idea di creare un blog giornaliero per il mondo del retail nasce grazie ai continui feedback positivi che riceviamo dalle notizie condivise attraverso diversi canali.
Rivolto a tutte le tipologie di distribuzione presenti sul mercato: dal dettaglio ai grandi mall, dal commercio locale e nazionale alle catene di negozi internazionali, investitori, ai nostri fedeli clienti e chiunque altro è realmente interessato allo studio e all'approfondimento su ciò che guida il comportamento dei consumatori. E' anche un blog per tutti coloro i quali lavorano già nel mondo del Retail.
Verranno condivise le loro esperienze, le loro attitudini e le loro experties. Un blog di condivisione, quindi.
Ospitato sul sito della BRD Consulting, che da decenni lavora nel mondo distributivo Italiano ed Internazionale, il blog Store in & out riguarderà il business, i marchi e i comportamenti d'acquisto propri di alcune delle più grandi aziende.
Ci saranno anche notizie in lingua originale per dare evidenza dell’attenzione della nostra Azienda nei confronti del global.
