Generally, it will take 8-14 days (natural day) for a stock to be listed and traded. However, after listing, there will usually be multiple consecutive daily limit boards, so don't sell new shares until the board is opened, in order to get the maximum profit.
Initial Public Offerings(IPO) in a narrow sense refers to the process in which an enterprise issues additional shares to investors for the first time through a stock exchange in order to raise funds for enterprise development. When a large number of investors subscribe for new shares, they need to allocate shares by lottery, which is also called drawing new shares. The subscribed investors expect to sell them at a price higher than the subscription price.
under the environment of China, listing can be divided into three ways: China company is listed in China or listed on Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges (A shares or B shares); China company directly goes to overseas stock exchanges (such as new york Stock Exchange, Nasdaq Stock Exchange, London Stock Exchange, etc.) (H shares); and China company indirectly sets up an offshore company overseas and goes public on overseas stock exchanges in the name of the offshore company (red chips).
