990128 - Big underwriter may be key to success for Web IPOs
By Nadja Rogoszynski
NEW YORK,, Jan 28 (Reuters) - Faced with the decision about what
new Internet-related initial public offering to put money into, investors
can often make the winning choice by focusing on big name
underwriters, according to IPO industry sources.
''A big name underwriter will absolutely make a difference,'' said Ben
Holmes, an analyst at ipoPros, a Boulder, Colo., consultancy. ''They
will support the deal, and not walk away from it after the pricing,''
Holmes said. ''That gives investors a certain security,'' he added.
The correlation between a big name underwriter and an exciting IPO
was proven when MarketWatch.com, an online business news
provider, soared 458 percent to $92 a share on its first day of trade two
weeks ago, after being offered initially at $17.
The stock offering, underwritten by BT Alex. Brown, has been
holding its momentum after its sparkling debut, despite losing some of
its value in recent days. Shares traded up 4 at 73-1/2 on Thursday.
====================================================
Kevin, tell me I am wrong on this: You only cut to BUY from
Strong Buy. BT Alex. Brown is serving as the Solicitation Agent
for the consent solicitation, and you guys are considered one of
the big name underwriters that can take a companies share price
to the moon and keep it there. I put this all together with what
IDT has now got going and I say soon, real soon, you're gonna
stand tall and POUND THE TABLE ON IDT!!!!!"
Well?:-) |
