Apple successfully went public. This news was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up waves and making the entire stock market boil.
What is particularly eye-catching is that the world's richest man, Su Cheng, is not only one of Apple's shareholders, but also personally attended and participated in this grand bell-ringing ceremony.
This move undoubtedly added infinite glory to Apple's listing, and it also made the news spread like wings, spreading throughout the beautiful country and even the world at an alarming speed.
At this moment, both ordinary retail investors and experienced stock market makers have set their sights on Apple.
They know very well that this technology giant has dominated the stock market and become the focus of attention with its excellent product innovation, extensive market influence, and the support of heavyweight shareholders such as Suzhou City.
In the future, Apple's stock price trend will undoubtedly become one of the most watched topics in the stock market.
After all, Apple has significantly increased its popularity and attracted a lot of attention with its recent best-selling iToteI product.
This market performance is one of the important reasons why Apple’s roadshow to go public has been a huge success.
Now, coupled with the strong support of the world's richest man, Sioux City, Apple's stock price is even more powerful and is expected to break through to unprecedented heights.
Su Cheng’s personal influence cannot be underestimated, but what is even more feared is the technology giants such as Oracle Computer he controls.
Oracle's profound heritage and innovative capabilities in the field of computer technology have undoubtedly provided strong technical support for Sioux City.
Therefore, some people speculate that Apple’s sudden rise this time is likely to be inseparable from the injection of cutting-edge technology or strategic support by Sioux City and Oracle Computer behind it.
This powerful alliance undoubtedly injects unlimited possibilities into Apple's future development.
If Oracle Computer Company chooses to list in the United States, with its strong technical strength and market position, its stock is indeed expected to become a dazzling star in the market, attracting the pursuit of a large number of investors, and the stock price may really be as predicted. "Rising to the sky".
However, unfortunately, as far as is known, Oracle Computer Company has no clear plan to go public, which makes many investors who are looking forward to its listing performance feel a little regretful.
Against this background, Apple's listing is undoubtedly a grand event full of surprises and expectations for investors in the beautiful country.
Apple itself has extremely high brand value and market influence. Its listing not only attracted global attention, but also brought numerous investment hot spots to investors.
From product innovation to market layout, from performance growth to future potential, every update of Apple touches the heartstrings of investors, making this listing feast full of infinite possibilities.
Today is the first day of Apple’s initial public offering. As the bell rings, this historic moment finally arrives.
After careful consideration, the stock issuance price was finally determined at US$22 per share, with a total of 4.6 million new shares issued, and Apple's total share capital reached 58.72 million shares.
As an important shareholder of Apple, Sioux City's shareholding ratio remains unchanged and continues to hold approximately 30% of Apple's shares, or approximately 17.616 million shares.
Based on this issuance price, it can be initially estimated that Apple’s self-assessed market value before the opening of the market is approximately US$1.292 billion.
However, this is only a starting point, and Apple's true value still needs to be tested by the market.
The market's reaction will directly determine the trend of Apple's stock price, which will in turn affect changes in its market value.
If the market is confident in Apple's prospects and responds enthusiastically, its stock price is likely to rise sharply after its listing, thereby pushing up the company's market value. In this scenario, Apple's market capitalization would be well above current estimates, indicating strong investor expectations for its future growth.
On the contrary, if the market response is dull or even indifferent, Apple's stock price may face pressure and fall.
This will not only cause the closing price on the first day of listing to be lower than the issue price, but may also further affect the company's market value, making it lower than the expected level before listing.
Therefore, how Apple performs on the first day of its IPO will directly reflect the market’s confidence and expectations for this technology giant.
No matter what the outcome is, this incident will become the focus of attention in the US capital market and bring a wonderful feast to investors.
After the crisp bells echoed in Sioux City, he walked into the box of the Nasdaq Stock Exchange with Apple founder Steve Jobs and his team.
As an important major shareholder of Apple, he is full of curiosity about Apple’s performance on the first day of its IPO.
In this IPO, Apple issued only 4.6 million new shares, which accounted for less than one-tenth of the company's total share capital and appeared relatively conservative.
Behind this decision lies the company’s careful consideration for future development.
Apple understands that maintaining a certain degree of ownership concentration is crucial to the company's long-term strategic planning and stability.
At the same time, sufficient space has been reserved for further financing activities in the future based on market conditions and company needs to ensure the company's sustainable and healthy development.
Although the issuance of new shares is limited, this does not affect investors' enthusiasm and confidence in Apple.
With its excellent product innovation, rapidly rising brand influence and broad market prospects, Apple has won widespread recognition and favor from many investors in beautiful countries.
Therefore, although the market reaction remains to be seen, the management teams of Sioux City and Apple are full of confidence and expectations for the company's future.
Although the new offering was only 4.6 million shares, once these high-profile shares were snapped up, Apple was able to quickly raise more than $100 million.
This considerable capital injection is undoubtedly very urgently needed for the company.
Although the recent release of iToteI has brought considerable profits to Apple and promoted performance growth, such growth still has certain limitations. The sales industry is long-term and cannot be fully satisfied for the time being. The company's in-depth development needs in multiple scientific research fields.
As we all know, technological research and development is an extremely costly activity and requires continuous financial support to promote innovation and technological progress.
The US$100 million raised by this IPO and the more than US$20 million paid by Sioux City through continued financing to maintain a 30% share have undoubtedly injected strong impetus into Apple's future development. .
Sufficient funds allow Apple to boldly plan and execute its next development blueprint.
They can invest more confidently in key areas such as new product research and development, market expansion and technology upgrading to further consolidate and expand their market position.
At the same time, these funds will also provide Apple with more strategic options and flexibility in the face of market changes and challenges, ensuring that the company can continue to develop steadily.
Only when Apple is fully funded can it have more development directions. (End of this chapter)
