You should be skeptical about all IPO's. They have a below avg market returns.

The Intelligent investor mentions that many decades ago (maybe the 50's) IPO's were for accredited investors, because they were a known way for the saavy ones to profit from the ingenuity of the common investor.

IPO's are overhyped and hence many people buy it regardless of its underlying asset, and hence drives the price up.

As i mentioned before, IPO's in general have bad performances and the gain is more for the company and early stock investors that cash out, since getting into the market immediatelly gets you lots of fund/index and "silly" money.
