What is the micro-IPO?
The term «Microcap stock» applies to companies with low or micro market capitalizations. Companies with a market capitalization of less than $50 or $300 million are often called «Microcap stocks» – although many have market capitalizations of far less than those amounts.

While initial offerings for smaller companies were previously limited, they are no longer restricted to larger, better-capitalized names. The current IPO opportunity for micro-cap companies—defined by having a market capitalization of roughly $50 million to $300 million—is optimal. In fact, as leaders have seen, the IPO market is now more accessible than ever for early-stage companies, providing value as well as necessary access to growth capital and human resources. Many IPO candidates are sitting it out, but small issuers have dominated the IPO calendar this year. Nine of this year’s 15 IPOs have raised $50 million or less, with seven additional listings scheduled.
