Oferta Pública Inicial (IPO)

An Oferta Pública Inicial (IPO), or Initial Public Offering, is the process by which a private company offers its shares to the public for the first time and becomes publicly traded. This enables the company to raise capital from a wide range of investors to fuel growth, pay debts, or fund new projects. In an IPO, the company works with financial experts to determine the share price and sell a portion of ownership. Once listed on a stock exchange, anyone can buy or sell its shares, providing liquidity and opportunities for investors.
