public offerings
Shares for everyone
Public offerings are sales of securities—stocks, bonds, or other financial instruments—to the general public rather than to private investors.
An initial public offering (IPO) marks a company's first sale of stock to outside investors: The tech startup's public offering raised two billion dollars.
Subsequent public offerings occur when companies already publicly traded issue additional shares.
