U.S. average IPO return in 2019, by sector

Published by Jennifer Rudden, Dec 8, 2020
Consumer staples was the best sector for an initial public offering (IPO) in the United States in 2019, with an average return of 103 percent. The lowest returns were in the communication services sector, where the average loss was 66.4 percent.

What is an IPO?

An IPO is when a private company offers shares to the public for the first time through a stock exchange. Companies do this to raise money, but public companies are subject to more scrutiny, such as publishing quarterly reports for investors. There are also risks. As seen in this statistic, a bad IPO can result in significant losses for the investors.
