This week we have four IPOs up for grabs in what will be your last chance to participate in an IPO for the month of July. If you waited, you missed some good performance last week as four IPO's that launched averaged a 21% return, and spent more time in the media then any other week this year. Of course this is all helped due to the fact that major indices have been climbing to, and holding near record highs. When you take a close look at the IPO pipeline you will see a well-stocked list of names in line. This leads most analysts to believe that there will see no shortage of IPO activity going forward.
First up is Talend (NASDAQ: TLND), which is a company that provides a cloud-based data integration platform. The company plans to raise $84 million by offering 5.25 million shares at a range of $15-17. Though currently unprofitable, the company addresses a $16 billion market and has managed to secure big-name customers such as General Electric, Allianz and Citi. Analysts agree that the company may continue the trend of top-performing tech IPO's this year.
