Does it matter where it IPOs?
- nly 5y agoIt's a Brexit anxiety thing. If a big boy like ARM goes public in London the PM can wave the flag on TV and say we're world class.
- LightG 5y agoYep, but it's no guarantee ARM will list on the LSE considering recent UK EV maker Arrival crossed the pond for a decent IPO.
- hardlianotion 5y agoIt is important with or without brexit.
- rwmj 5y agoThe most important thing is where are the jobs. Where it lists is of minor concern, except for people desperate for "Brexit wins".
- OJFord 5y agoFor governments, exchanges, indices, certain investors, and economies yes.
- jayflux 5y agoCompanies like to IPO where there’s high volume, and LSE doesn’t have much compared to US exchanges. Sadly it’s a chicken + egg problem because LSE is left with older, more legacy UK companies, making it less attractive for modern tech companies to list in. The LSE could really do with this as a boost and to break the cycle. But this will IPO in the US.
- marticode 5y agoNot only liquidity but valuation for tech companies are typically better in the US for some reason.
