Question
What five common IPO mistakes should you avoid in an interview?
Answer
Avoid saying the issuer should always maximize price, ignoring secondary versus primary proceeds, confusing listing with offering, treating oversubscription as automatically good, and forgetting regulatory / wall-crossing constraints. Also avoid claiming the greenshoe guarantees price support. IPO execution is about quality of demand and aftermarket, not only headline proceeds.
