Disappointing IPO results of Facebook, Groupon discourage companies to go public

Singapore IPOs in Q212 down by 21%.

Results from Janus Corporate Solutions showed that only 96 companies went public from April to June compared to 122 during the first three months of the year.

According to Janus, a possible reason for this decline is the continued sluggishness of the global economy, as well as companies being wary of the disappointing results of several high-profile IPOs such as Facebook and Groupon.

Public limited companies set up in 2Q12 only consist around 1% of the total 14,481 business entities that were formed during the period.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
