Coming out of the Thanksgiving week the IPO markets were pretty quiet. There was only one company that was able to go public, raising $67 million in the process. Innovative Industrial Properties (IIPR  ) was able to come to market last week but lost 4.3% in its first day of trade. In its second day it lost another 3.66%, so overall its already down 7.8%. Much of this is blamed on the slow IPO markets and the size of the deal overall.

As we go into December there are actually no new filings for company's that wish to go public. So far for 2016 the companies that have gone public are up 26% on average and according to IPO analysts  7 of  10 IPO's released in 2016 are above their offer price. If you were to compare that to last year you would find that only 4 of 10 were trading above their offering price at this point.

If you are an avid IPO investor then analysts continue to suggest to choose wisely. It is normal for the IPO markets to slow down (in terms of number of offerings) in December and ramp up again as the new year gets going.
