Pinterest and Zoom have had exciting IPOs—here's what to know if you're thinking of investing via CNBCMakeIt
Image-sharing platform Pinterest and videoconferencing company Zoom are two of a handful of big-name tech companies that went public or plan to go public this year. Ride-hailing app Lyft listed earlier this year, while Uber is planning its IPO for later this spring.
"If you had waited just a few weeks, you would be buying at quite a discount, so that's a good illustration of what can happen if you act too fast," she says."The average investor should tread carefully around an IPO." A number of other hot tech stocks went public back then, too, without great results, as CNBC reported at the time:"Recent debuts from tech outfits such as Pandora Media and Groupon have ultimately turned out flat. Indeed, some professionals are warning mom and pop investors away from such offerings."
Additionally, Walters says, investors should wait to see if management shifts, which is common after an IPO and can influence stock price. Waiting a year to a year and a half to buy allows these pressures to die down. Plus, you can get a sense of how the company will actually operate in the long term.
The majority of investors should not prioritize putting money into individual stocks, O'Shea says. For most people, the best way to invest is in low-cost ETFs or index funds. That's the approach Warren Buffett has advocated for retail investors. Consider, too, your long-term investment plan. How does investing in Pinterest or Zoom fit in? You might that find after considering your overall financial health, that it doesn't make sense to invest in trendy companies right now. For example, if your goals are to pay for your kid's college tuition and retire in 30 years, you need to ask yourself how buying individual stock helps you get there.
