Of the 94 companies that listed last year, only 15 are trading above their issue price, Kennedy said.

Cincor raised nearly $194 million after selling 12.1 million shares at $16. It had filed to offer 11 million shares priced at $15 to $17. Shares kicked off at $21 and dropped, frequently trading above and below the $16 IPO price before closing at that level.</p><p><blockquote>Cincor(股票代码:CINC)正在开发治疗高血压和其他心肾疾病的疗法,该公司于周五率先开业。Cincor 以 16 美元的价格出售 1210 万股股票,筹集了近 1.94 亿美元。该公司已申请发行 1100 万股股票,价格为 15 至 17 美元。股价开盘价为 21 美元,随后下跌,在收盘价之前,经常在 16 美元的 IPO 价格上下交易价格。</blockquote></p><p>Shares of Amylyx (AMLX), meanwhile, kicked off at $21 and ended the day at $18.07, nearly 5% below its issue price. Amylyx is focused on therapies to treat ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases. Amylyx, which also boosted the size of its deal,raised $190 million after selling 10 million shares priced at $19 each. It had planned on offering 8.75 million at $18 to $20.</p><p><blockquote>与此同时,Amylyx (AMLX) 的股价开盘价为 21 美元,收盘价为 18.07 美元,比发行价低近 5%。Amylyx专注于治疗ALS和其他神经退行性疾病的疗法。Amylyx 也扩大了交易规模,在以每股 19 美元的价格出售 1000 万股股票后筹集了 1.9 亿美元。该公司原计划以 18 至 20 美元的价格发行 875 万股。</blockquote></p><p>Vigil (VIGL), which aims to provide treatments for neurodegenerative diseases,collected $98 million after selling 7 million shares at $14, below its $15-to-$17 price range. Vigil opened at $12, below its IPO price, and closed down nearly 10% to $12.65.</p><p><blockquote>Vigil (VIGL) 旨在为神经退行性疾病提供治疗,该公司以 14 美元的价格出售了 700 万股股票,筹集了 9800 万美元,低于 15 至 17 美元的价格范围。Vigil 开盘价为 12 美元,低于 IPO 价格,收盘下跌近 10%,至 12.65 美元。</blockquote></p><p>Jordan Stuart, a market strategist for the Federated Hermes Kaufmann funds that focus on small-, mid-, and large-cap companies and invests in IPOs, has one word of advice for investors: patience.</p><p><blockquote>乔丹·斯图尔特 (Jordan Stuart) 是 Federated Hermes Kaufmann funds 的市场策略师,该基金专注于小型、中型和大型市值公司并投资 IPO,他给投资者的建议只有一个:耐心。</blockquote></p><p>Many biotechs went public in 2021 at a very early stage and it may make sense to wait for a “timing catalyst” before investing, Stuart said. He pointed to Federated’s experience with Moderna(MRNA), which went public in 2018. Federated passed on buying into the IPO “because there was nothing urgent” to prompt their investment, Stuart said.</p><p><blockquote>斯图尔特说,许多生物技术公司在 2021 年很早就上市了,在投资之前等待 “时机催化剂 ”可能是有意义的。他指出了 Federated 在 2018 年上市的 Moderna(MRNA)方面的经验。斯图尔特说,Federated 放弃了购买 IPO,“因为没有什么紧急情况 ”促使他们进行投资。</blockquote></p><p>But in January 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, detected the first U.S. case of Covid-19, and by March, businesses across the nation were closing in an attempt to stop the spread of the virus. Federated invested in Moderna in the first quarter of 2020 at around $30 a share, Stuart said.</p><p><blockquote>但在2020年1月,疾病控制和预防中心(CDC)发现了美国首例新冠肺炎病例,到3月,全国各地的企业都在关闭,试图阻止病毒的传播。Stuart 表示,Federated 在 2020 年第一季度以每股 30 美元左右的价格投资了 Moderna。</blockquote></p><p>The biotech’s Covid-19 vaccine received emergency-use authorization by the FDA later that year, in December. Moderna’s stock hit a high of $384.86 in September and is now trading at $213.58. Federated, across its funds, owned a significant stake in Moderna as of Sept. 30, Stuart said.</p><p><blockquote>同年 12 月晚些时候,该生物技术公司的 Covid-19 疫苗获得了美国食品和药物管理局的紧急使用授权。Moderna 的股价在 9 月份创下 384.86 美元的高点,目前交易价格为 213.58 美元。斯图尔特表示,截至 9 月 30 日,Federated 旗下基金持有 Moderna 的大量股份。</blockquote></p><p>While the investment manager may have left some money on the table by waiting, Stuart estimates that Federated has made from five to 10 times its money with its Moderna investment. “It’s good that companies are coming out very early. But given the heat of last year’s IPO market, patience can be a virtue,” he said.</p><p><blockquote>虽然投资经理可能通过等待留下了一些钱,但斯图尔特估计,Federated 的 Moderna 投资已经赚了 5 到 10 倍。“公司很早就上市是件好事。但考虑到去年 IPO 市场的火爆,耐心也是一种美德,”他说。</blockquote></p><p></body></html></p><p><blockquote></blockquote></p><p></p>","source":"lsy1601382232898","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>The Year’s First Three IPOs All Struggled.

He pointed to Federated’s experience with Moderna(MRNA), which went public in 2018. Federated passed on buying into the IPO “because there was nothing urgent” to prompt their investment, Stuart said.But in January 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, detected the first U.S. case of Covid-19, and by March, businesses across the nation were closing in an attempt to stop the spread of the virus. Federated invested in Moderna in the first quarter of 2020 at around $30 a share, Stuart said.The biotech’s Covid-19 vaccine received emergency-use authorization by the FDA later that year, in December. Moderna’s stock hit a high of $384.86 in September and is now trading at $213.58. Federated, across its funds, owned a significant stake in Moderna as of Sept. 30, Stuart said.While the investment manager may have left some money on the table by waiting, Stuart estimates that Federated has made from five to 10 times its money with its Moderna investment. “It’s good that companies are coming out very early. But given the heat of last year’s IPO market, patience can be a virtue,” he said.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AMLX":0.9,"CINC":0.9,"VIGL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":3628,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"CN","currentLanguage":"CN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":4,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ZH_CN"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"isTiger":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"url":"/m/post/694043617"}
