Back to stocks. More internet IPOs. From today's NY Times:
More Internet Offerings Waiting in the Wings
Investors kicking themselves for not being in on last week's initial offerings of Earthweb and Theglobe.com -- which finished the week up 378.6 percent and 605.6 percent, respectively -- may want to keep this thought in mind: There's more where those two came from.
Nineteen Internet companies tracked by Commscan LLC, a New York research firm, plan to tap the public market, hoping to raise a total of $826.9 million.
Five of the companies have already set tentative schedules. Among them is Ticketmaster Online-Citysearch, an online provider of event ticketing and local city guides. It hopes to raise $63 in an offering planned for early December.
Other big names on the list include Prodigy Communications, the Internet access provider, which hopes to raise $86.3 million, and Marketwatch.com, a Web-based news provider, which hopes to bring in $34.5 million. Neither has set a specific time for its offering.
Through Thursday, Commscan said, 30 Internet companies had raised a total of $1.6 billion this year, returning an average of 74 percent.
