Hot Equity Periods
Hot equity periods refer to times when stock markets experience heightened activity, with an increase in initial public offerings (IPOs), secondary stock offerings, and high trading volumes. These periods are typically driven by strong investor confidence, rising equity prices, and favorable economic conditions. Companies use hot equity periods to raise capital by issuing new shares, while investors look to capitalize on the bullish market sentiment.
Example
During a tech boom, hot equity periods may see numerous tech startups going public with IPOs, attracting significant investor interest due to rising valuations and strong market optimism.
