Editorial guidance for your newsletter
- Order these by expected timing (early October first) and update intraday once “launched” (when the range posts) or “priced.”
- For entries without a set range, keep them in the “On Watch” box until terms are filed; IPOs typically list within ~7–10 days of setting terms, market permitting.
- Re‑check ranges and share counts on pricing day; secondary vs. primary share mix often shifts in the final S‑1/A.
If you’d like, I can monitor these names and send a one‑page update the moment each deal launches or prices.
