The number of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) was at an all-time high last year! When 2,388 companies went public, they raised a total of $453 billion (the biggest yearly deal volume ever). Without a doubt, the year 2022 has the potential to beat the previous record! I chose to write and share my thoughts on the initial public offerings (IPOs) that experts have recommended investors keep an eye on this year. First and foremost, **REDDIT:** https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2015/10/26/12/42/reddit-1007072_1280.jpg [Source from Pixabay: 27707](https://pixabay.com/illustrations/reddit-com-vote-comment-submit-1007072/) The social media platform that was responsible for last year's meme stock craze has been around for roughly 16 years. Following the great success of their funding round in August, they are apparently aiming for a $15 billion valuation. They've filed paperwork to go public this year, but they haven't revealed any financial specifics about how much money they're hoping to raise. **TRUMP MEDIA (TMTG):** https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/21/Trump_Media_%26_Technology_Group_logo.svg/330px-Trump_Media_%26_Technology_Group_logo.svg.png [Source: https://www.tmtgcorp.com/ ](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Trump_Media_%26_Technology_Group_logo.svg) Despite the fact that it has yet to release a working product, the media company is planning to go public this year through speculation. The SEC began an inquiry into stock trading and high-level communications in December of last year, and regulators have already pounced on the move. And, yes, no one has yet been accused of any wrongdoing, t's still unclear how the investigation will affect ex-President Trump's latest money-making business. **DISCORD:** https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2021/03/02/12/02/logo-6062232_1280.png [Source from Pixabay: B_Zocholl](https://pixabay.com/illustrations/logo-icon-symbol-networking-6062232/) One of my personal favorites was founded in 2015. It was a fun location for gamers to interact with one another while they were playing video games. When its users began exploiting the platform for illicit purposes, it quickly grew in popularity. Because the platform had an estimated 150 million active users, this enabled for the implementation of additional policies and responsibilities when it was rebranded. They haven't made an official announcement yet, but trust investors who are looking forward to the IPO after the business broke talks with Microsoft over an acquisition earlier in 2021. **INSTACART:** https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9f/Instacart_logo_and_wordmark.svg/330px-Instacart_logo_and_wordmark.svg.png [Source:Instacart](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Instacart_logo_and_wordmark.svg) Our renowned grocery delivery business, Instacart, became even more popular during the pandemic lockdown. They had planned to go public last year, but the company's new CEO chose to postpone the plans in order to focus on expanding the company's services beyond simple deliveries, with the hope of including some advertising in the mix. A competitor firm, Doordash, has seen its stock fall by around 15% since its first day of trade in December 2020. **IMPOSIBLE:** https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fb/Impossible_Foods_logo.svg/330px-Impossible_Foods_logo.svg.png [Source: Impossible Foods, Inc.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Impossible_Foods_logo.svg) Since its launch in 2011, the vegan company has raised $2 billion and can now be found in over 22, 000 grocery stores across the United States. They are said to be aiming for a $10 billion valuation, competing with "Beyond Meat" for the vegan market. Beyond Meat made its NASDAQ debut in 2019 and is now valued at almost $5 billion. **STRIPE:** https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/ba/Stripe_Logo%2C_revised_2016.svg/375px-Stripe_Logo%2C_revised_2016.svg.png [Source: Stripe, Inc.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Stripe_Logo,_revised_2016.svg) A payment processing company created by billionaire brothers Patrick and John Collison, who have hinted at an IPO for the past year in order to boost expansion with new public market funding. Being a worthy competitor to PayPal, the company is said to have been in talks with investment banks in September 2021 regarding a market debut this year. Stripe could easily be one of the largest IPOs on Wall Street if the brothers agree to take the chance. **CHIME:** https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f6/Chime_company_logo.svg/330px-Chime_company_logo.svg.png [Source: Chime](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Chime_company_logo.svg) A San Francisco-based digital bank that is in talks to go public in March with a valuation of $35 billion to $45 billion. It's a good one to keep an eye on. **TPG:** https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fe/TPG_Capital_logo.svg/330px-TPG_Capital_logo.svg.png [Source: TPG Capital](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:TPG_Capital_logo.svg) James Coulter and David Bonderman, two millionaires, created TPG. It's a private equity group with large investments in companies like CAA, Vice Media, and Spotify. They revealed plans to list on the NASDAQ exchange late last year after revealing that they planned to generate up to $1 billion in gross revenues. With a valuation of 9.5 billion dollars, it has the potential to be one of the year's greatest market debuts! Please share your thoughts and opinions on additional potentially big IPOs that I missed! Inflation seems to be the talk in town, how would it affect IPOs? Always remember to DYOR (do your own research) and trade safely! Cheers!!!
