Finding U.S. IPO Data in S-1 Filings and Market Databases

Summary

The document asks how to obtain data on NYSE and Nasdaq IPOs, including completion date, company or ticker, proceeds, and shares sold. It also asks whether the SEC receives a dedicated filing reporting final IPO results. The accepted answer points to a commercial IPO data provider that offers a free trial, while noting that the trial’s coverage may differ from a paid membership.

For details about shareholders selling stock alongside the company, the answer suggests reviewing the company’s S-1 registration filing. It says there is no SEC filing specifically for IPO results, and recommends combining provider data with information from S-1 filings available through EDGAR. The response offers a practical research path, but does not describe a systematic extraction method or verify the completeness and accuracy of either source. Access to the provider’s data may also depend on trial terms or a subscription.

Key ideas

• The requested IPO fields include completion date, issuer identity, proceeds, and shares sold.
• The answer identifies a commercial IPO database as one source and mentions a free trial.
• S-1 filings may provide information about selling shareholders and their shares.
• The answer says there is no dedicated SEC filing for final IPO results.
• Combining IPO data with S-1 filings is suggested, but source completeness is not assessed.

I am trying to get data for results of IPOs that took place on NYSE and NASDAQ in 2015-2020. My minimal need is:

- Date of IPO completion

- Company name or ticker (better yet, both)

- Total US$ amount raised in IPO

- Total number of shares sold in IPO



Can this data be obtained without subscribing for paid databases, and if yes, how exactly? Also, if this data is reported to SEC, what form is filed for IPO results, if any?

Renaissance Capital has this data. They do have an option to sign up for a free 1-week trial. I don't know what the free trial gives you compared to being a member as I have had a membership for years.

> Optional: list of sellers who sold their shares in or along with IPO (such as venture investors of a startup going public) with amounts.

You may be able to find this information in the company's S-1 filing.

There is not a filing that gives the 'results' of an IPO with the SEC. Between the data you can get from Renaissance and data from S-1's that you can get from the SEC's EDGAR system, you should be able to find all the data you are asking for.
