IPOs are set to dominate this week with big names including Zynga, Jive Software and Michael Kors Holdings all going public. Some of these companies could still delay their IPOs this week and some have citing market conditions. It will still be a busy week regardless for these new stocks.
Zynga is set to offer 100 million shares at a price range of $8.50 to $10 and could raise as much as $1 billion. If the company raises $1 billion it would be the largest Internet IPO since Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) in 2004.
Jive Software is offering 11.7 million shares between $8 to $10. The company is expected to begin trading on Tuesday.
Michael Kors Holding is a fashion design company and will offer about 42 million shares at a price range of $17 to $19.
Other companies going public this week include energy companies and tech companies.
Zynga’s IPO is likely to overshadow all the other IPOs and will see lots of investor attention on Monday.
