How to buy Mytheresa stock when it goes public

The German online retail site for women fashion Mytheresa is considering a potential US initial public offering (IPO). Here's what we know — and how to buy in when the stock goes public.

What we know about the Mytheresa IPO

Mytheresa Group’s parent company, MYT Netherlands Parent B.V., confidentially filed for an initial public offering in the United States.

The deal will be completed via American depositary shares, but the number of shares and the price range for the proposed offering have not been determined, a MYT Netherlands statement says. The company may seek a valuation of $1 billion to $1.5 billion, but this may change based on a busy holiday season for the online retailer.

You won’t need an international brokerage account if you wish to buy shares of Mytheresa post-IPO since the offering is taking place in the United States.

2. Open and fund your brokerage account. Complete an application with your personal and financial details, like your ID and bank information. Fund your account with a bank transfer, credit card or debit card.
3. Search for Mytheresa. Find the stock by name or ticker symbol. Research its history to confirm it's a solid investment against your financial goals.
4. Purchase now or later. Buy immediately with a market order or use a limit order to delay your purchase until Mytheresa reaches your desired price. To spread out your purchase, look into dollar-cost averaging, which smooths out buying at consistent intervals and amounts.
5. Decide on how many to buy. Weigh your budget against a diversified portfolio that can minimize risk through the market's ups and downs. You may be able to buy a fractional share of Mytheresa, depending on your broker.
6. Check in on your investment. Congratulations, you own a part of Mytheresa. Optimize your portfolio by tracking how your stock — and even the business — performs with an eye on the long term. You may be eligible for dividends and shareholder voting rights on directors and management that can affect your stock.
