Two loosely related things happened recently. SoulCycle, a cycling class business, pulled its initial public offering last week because of market conditions. And Uber’s CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said his company is on pace to go public next year. He must know something about the stock market, the direction of which is the primary influence on whether most IPOs work.
Even the most famous of IPOs, like Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ: FB), have benefited from a market that has driven relentlessly higher since the Dow Jones industrial average dropped below 7,000 in early 2009. It currently trades at over 25,000. Facebook stumbled out of the gate, with uneasy price swings right after its IPO. If the market had been in a major downdraft, Facebook’s IPO may have been a disaster. But the Dow index soared the year Facebook went public.
The market also has allowed companies that should never have been public to have IPOs. Among the best known of these are Blue Apron and GoPro. Their stocks have sputtered. In a poor market, they never would have traded at all.
