IPO's the Initial Public Offering Term Paper

Google had reported profits of $191 million, while Amazon reported losses. Obviously, the difference in share attractiveness that resulted from this financial fact was clearly in favour of Google's eventual share growth.

Basically, we can conclude that Google was at the right moment for an IPO and, additionally, the company was clearly much healthier and more prepared to have a significant subsequent share growth.
