Second-Busiest IPO Week This Year Shows Mixed Performance

This week was the second-busiest IPO week of 2009 with network security specialist Fortinet (FTNT) making its debut on Wednesday, followed by four additional companies that began trading today. Fortinet led the group with a first day pop of 33%, climbing even higher in the aftermarket to a total return of 35.8%.

The companies that traded today were Archipelago Learning (ARCL), 7 Days Group (SVN), Global Defense Technologies (GTEC), and Cloud Peak Energy (CLD), spanning a wide range of industries from education to energy. Archipelago Learning, an online education company, and 7 Days Group, the third largest economy hotel in China, posted respective first day gains of 13.8% and 13.6%. Attractive margins seemed to appeal to investors in the case of Archipelago's offering, while an aggressive growth strategy and China's expanding economy were the main drivers for 7 Days.

IPO: Busiest Day in Two Months

Archipelago Learning (ARCL), Cloud Peak Energy (CLD), Global Defense Technologies (GTEC), and 7 Days Group (SVN) are all expected to begin trading Friday, marking the busiest day in IPOs since September 23 of this year, when five companies made their debuts.
Cloud Peak Energy (CLD), a Rio Tinto carve-out of the US's third largest coal producer, and Global Defense Technologies (GTEC), a provider of IT services to US defense agencies, have both announced prices below their respective ranges. Cloud Peak raised $459 million by offering 30.6 million shares at $15, below the proposed range of $16-$18. In a smaller deal, Global Defense raised $60 million by offering 4.6 million shares at $13, below the proposed range of $14-$16.
7 Days Group (SVN), the only ADS offering on today's docket, priced $10.1 million shares at the top of the $9-$11 range at $11, raising $111 million. 7 Days is the third largest and fastest growing economy hotel chain in China. Archipelago Learning (ARCL) also priced near the top of its range of $15-$17, offering 6.3 million shares at $16.50 and raising $103 million. The company provides a subscription-based online education platform for students K-12.
These four IPOs hope to continue the recent trend set by Fortinet (FTNT) and rue21 (RUE), the two most recent companies to go public before today. Fortinet, a global IT leader in the unified threat management space, and rue21, a discount fashion retailer that targets teenagers, have posted impressive first day pops of 33.0% and 27.9%, respectively. Compared with an average first day return of 4.9% for the nine companies that have debuted in the last 30 days, Fortinet and rue21 have demonstrated strong performance, ranking among the top ten on our list of best performing first day IPO returns year-to-date.

More Interest in Smallcaps, Now that Largecaps Viewed as Riskier?
Paul Wilkinson submits:

A few days ago I tweeted a question about whether a theory that less expensive stock trading contributed to fewer IPOs holds water. The theory is that cheaper trading results in less revenue to fund analyst coverage of companies hoping to go public in the $50 million – $100 million range. In the '90s, a relatively small number of such companies — big names today — created hundreds of thousands of new jobs after going public, so there is certainly precedent that doing so can be a very good thing.

Tonight, after reading a post by Miles Jenning (publisher of Ownership View) in the LinkedIn XBRL Interactive Network, I had a thought. (The topic of Miles’ post was a law professor’s blog on the use of technology to address the crisis. It's worth the read.) Before the current financial crisis, investors could look at history and see that “safe” investing in larger, more stable, less risky companies gave them pretty decent returns over time. This was particularly true in light of the disparity between NYSE and Nasdaq performance as a result of the dot com boom.

Cloud Peak IPO Piques Our Interest
Stone Fox Capital submits:

Cloud Peak Energy (CLD) is an IPO spin off from Rio Tinto (RTP) that has huge potential. By all accounts, the deal will be cheap as evidently RTP needs the cash. The deal is expected to price in the $16-18 range giving it a7 PE multiple. Very odd considering the PE multiples in the 20s that most coal producers trade at currently.

CLD is completely focused on the Power River Basin (PRB) area in Wyoming and Montana. The surfice coal in the PRB is much easier to mine then the mountaintop mines in the East and especially in Central Appalachia. Also, the coal is 'cleaner' then the East because of lower sulfur amounts. Now honestly just about every other energy option is 'cleaner' then coal such as natural gas, solar, and wind. Unfortunately coal is the cheapest option and the US along with emerging economies like China and India are somewhat stuck using it so demand is expected to grow.

Fortinet: Fortifying the Network

Traditionally, enterprises have employed a variety of point solutions, such as firewalls and virtual private networks, to combat network security threats. With the increasing complexity of threats and importance of network performance, however, the need for a more integrated, easy-to-manage solution has given rise to the market for unified threat management (UTM) systems, which incorporate multiple security features (firewall, intrusion prevention, antivirus) into a single box.

Fortinet (FTNT) was founded by the same duo that started NetScreen Technologies, which was acquired by Juniper (JNPR) in 2004 for $4 billion. Fortinet has used a proprietary solution to secure a leading 15% share in the UTM market, a segment of IT security spending that is expected to reach $3.5 billion by 2012 (22% CAGR). The company plans to offer 12.5 million shares, including 6.7 million from insiders, at a price range $9-$11. Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan and Deutsche Bank are acting as lead managers and the deal is expected to price Tuesday, November 17 and list on the NASDAQ the following day under the ticker FTNT'

Grant Thorton Study and the Death of the Small IPO
Greenbackd submits:

The Economist has an article, High-speed slide, which discusses a recent study by Grant Thornton about the disappearance of the initial public offering (IPO) market in the U.S., and, in particular, the death of the small IPO. In the October 2009 study, Market structure is causing the IPO crisis, authors David Weild and Edward Kim argue that the recent paucity of U.S. IPOs is a result of the “market structure” failing the IPO, rather than a cyclical downturn. That may seem unlikely at first blush, but the data are compelling:

The first six months of 2009 represents the worst IPO market in 40 years. Given that the size of the U.S. economy, in real GDP terms, is over 3x what it was 40 years ago, this is a remarkable and frightening state of affairs. Only 12 companies went public in the United States in the first half of 2009, and only eight of them were U.S. companies. The trend that disfavors small IPOs and small companies has continued. The median IPO in the first half of 2009 was $135 million in size. This contrasts to 20 years ago when it was common for Wall Street to do $10 million IPOs and have them succeed.

Cleaning House Before Its IPO Will Cost AOL $200 Million and Up to 1,000 Jobs
Erick Schonfeld submits:

As AOL prepares to spin off from Time Warner (TWX) in an IPO, it wants to gussy itself up so that it looks as appealing as possible to public investors. Thursday, AOL disclosed that it plans yet another restructuring which could cost as much as $200 million. The biggest cost savings from any restructuring is usually through layoffs, and the latest round has already started at AOL, with 100 let go this week and as many as 1,000 of its 6,000 jobs at risk of being eliminated.

Vitamin Shoppe Adds to a Successful IPO
Zachary ScheidtZachary Scheidt submits:

One of the more successful IPOs over the past few weeks has come from Vitamin Shoppe Inc. (VSI). The stock was offered to investors at $17.00 and began trading on October 28. Underwriters included JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Bank of America (BAC) / Merrill Lynch, and Barclays Plc. (BCS). The stock traded sharply higher out of the gate, closing its first day of trading at $17.95 which was good for a 5.6% initial return.

Since the IPO, investors have gained more confidence in the stock, pushing it as high as $21.39 during the day on Tuesday. That’s a potential 26% increase over the IPO price. It’s encouraging to see additional strength in the open market for a growth opportunity in its early days of trading. The positive movement points to liquidity which continues to show up in pockets of the market despite the economic uncertainty.
