BOSTON - Companies making their debut on the U.S. stock market are getting a rough welcome, especially if they are losing money, casting a shadow over the calendar for initial public offerings for the rest of the year.
A more discerning market for initial public offerings continued to punish Peloton Interactive Inc PTON.O on Friday, a day after it began trading, as shares of the fitness startup fell 4% to $24.74. The company is now trading 15% below its Wednesday IPO price. Peloton reported rapid top-line growth of 110% during the fiscal year that ended June 30. But the company also showed negative operating leverage, with operating expenses surging 147% over the prior year.
As it should. Did everyone (a) collectively lose their minds and decide that every unprofitable company is just Amazon in disguise? and/or (b) forget Does anyone remember the sock puppet and the bust? It wasn't THAT long ago.
Thanks -- get WeWork and MiguelMcKelvey out of here...
About time ...I have been warning that these IPO models are not sustainable for the last 18 months
