    IPO = Initial Public Offering

    It’s basically when a private corporation goes public and offers shares of their company to the public for the first time, as well as listing on a major stock exchange. It’s worth noting that private corporations can issue stock to individual shareholders, those shares just aren’t traded on the open market.
