Yeah, this doesn’t really tell us anything.

Better visualization and accurate data. Get this out of this sub right now

It's a little out of date though. There are a few more recent IPOs that would make that list

This leaves out every major tech IPO of the last 5 years. Airbnb IPO'ed for 100B for example.

The $100B isn't actually using the same metric as the chart though. $100B is the total valuation of the company on the public market, but they "only" raised $3B from the IPO so it wouldn't make this list. These lists usually look at how much cash the company raised from the IPO.

It would be nice if it also compared IPOs to the current market capitalization.

The crazy thing is that the ~$25B IPO for Aramco was for something like 1.5% of the company.

The company in total is worth somewhere on the order of $1.9T

Why did they bother with such a small percentage ipo? Can’t imagine a 1.9T company really needed 25B.
