- assume a "hot" IPO making less than 5 million earnings/qtr - 70mm or so options expenses (minimum) on the annual rpt, resulting in a large net loss for the quarter of IPO Who exactly do you think will be affected by this? Come on, lets not kid ourselves that IPOs with huge net losses related to options expensing is irrelevant and not going to effect anybody's valuation wrt the company. A hot IPO with such little net income won't be valued on the basis of its earnings. Options expensing won't change that.
