Reg A+ Offerings Significant Development for IPO MarketPALM BEACH, Florida, June 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Something new has caught the attention of Wall Street recently in a big way.

In other IPO news: the 20th anniversary of Amazon.com Inc.'s (NASDAQ: AMZN) initial public offering (IPO) is still the IPO of the ages as those in the investment industry know that Amazon has been a hot stock for quite some time. However, this was not always the case. When Amazon first went public in 1997, its stock was priced at just $18 per share. From that modest beginning, the online retail giant has seen its stock skyrocket, despite a rocky period during the dot-com crash. In fact, if you had invested just $100 in Amazon's IPO, that investment would have been worth $63,990 by close May 12, 2017.

The company went public at $85, sold 22.5 million shares and raised over $1.9 billion. Shares of Google rose 18.05% to $100.34 at the close on its IPO date. If you had been able to purchase Google's shares at $85, you would have acquired 12 shares, or $1,020 divided by $85, before the company split its stock. As of July 27, 2015, Google Incorporated class A stock closed at $658.27 per share, while its class C stock closed at $627.26 per share. Currently, the initial investment of $1,020 would be worth $15,426.36, which is 12 shares multiplied by $658.27 per share plus 12 shares multiplied by $627.26. The return on investment (ROI) from these shares purchased at Google's IPO would be 1,415.39% (Source:http://www.investopedia.com/articles/active-trading/081315/if-you-would-have-invested-right-after-googles-ipo.asp).
