Spell with just one IPO and three listings. The main board segment takes a breather, while the SME segment gears up for some action.
IPO Listings
An “IPO listing” refers to the process by which a company’s shares become publicly traded on a stock exchange for the first time.
Once a company has conducted its IPO and its shares are available for public trading, the stock is said to be “listed” on a stock exchange. A stock exchange is a platform where buyers and sellers can trade shares of publicly listed companies.
