In the US, there have been around 180 IPOs in 2022. This is down significantly from 2021 which saw 1,035 companies debut on US stock exchanges. According to PwC, over 60% of US IPOs were withdrawn this year.

With market uncertainty at a high, investors are increasingly preferring to play it safe by shifting away from high-growth companies to those with sustainable profits, solid cash flow and competitive offerings.

Though the IPO market is usually slow at the start of the year, here are 3 upcoming IPOs to watch in February 2023. There may be delays as business owners try to weigh the market and judge the best time to approach investors.

How to invest in IPOs

  1. Open a stock trading account. Trading platforms such as Questrade and Qtrade let you order some IPO stocks at the initially proposed price before these stocks hit the secondary market and become more widely available.
  2. Find the IPO stock you want to buy. Search for stocks by company name or ticker symbol (for example, “AAPL”), select the stock and enter the number of shares you want to buy.
  3. Review and submit your order. Place a market order to buy at the listed stock price, or place a limit order to buy in the future when the price is more favourable. Note that IPO stock prices tend to rise sharply immediately following a public offering but often taper off afterwards.

Open a stock trading account

To buy IPO stocks, you’ll need an investment account. Note that not all brokerages provide access to IPO stocks. Some, like Interactive Brokers and Wealthsimple, only let you buy newly-listed stocks on on the secondary market. Others, like Questrade and Qtrade, provide access to IPO stocks as soon as these stocks become available, even before hitting the secondary market.
