IPO stand for initial price offering
it just for when a new stock hits the market
IPO stands for Initial Public Offering. Brokers seldom contact the ’small ‘ investor until after he’s ‘taken care of the holders of’ larger portfolios, at which point the price may no longer be attractive to the small investor.

The initial public offering is indeed the initial price offering of the stock to the public.
