Lessons learned
- Discipline on price beats FOMO. The best-performing 2020–24 IPOs were priced within, not above, the marketed range.
- Float size matters. Small free-floats amplify volatility in the first 90 days — size positions accordingly.
- Lock-up expiries are catalysts. Watch the 90 / 180-day cliffs; supply overhang is real.
- Sector matters more than the deal. Cohorts move together — a good business in a hated sector rarely rerates alone.
