An IPO (Initial Public Offering) is when a private company decides to sell its shares to the public for the first time. This is a way for companies to raise money to grow and expand.

When you buy shares during an IPO, you become a part-owner of the company. If the company performs well, your shares will increase in value, and you can sell them for a profit in the future. But, there’s also a risk that the company might not do well, and the share price could fall.

An IPO is your chance to invest in a company from the ground up, but it’s important to do your research before investing.
