IPO Watch

IPO Watch: Colfax Corporation

Colfax specializes in big pumps for big uses, such as in oil wells, ships and chemical manufacturing facilities, and many of its customers, including the U.S. Department of Defense, aren’t affected by economic cycles.

IPO Watch: American Water Works

Rather than buy Cleveland real estate right now, you could consider shares in American Water Works (Nasdaq:AWK), an old-line water utility that’s been around in one form or another since 1886.

IPO Watch: Beware the Ides, and all the rest, of March

Because more deals have been pulled than priced this month, here are the companies that walked away from the public markets — at least for the time being.

IPO Watch: SPACS Make Good

Some weeks, it seems like there is only one sector in the entire U.S. financial services business that is in demand: initial public offerings of special purpose acquisition companies.

IPO Watch: Visa

Finally, there’s a hot IPO. Visa, the king of the credit cards, is going public in the king of all IPOs, the biggest ever in the United States.

IPO Watch: Titan Machinery

Given the paucity of offerings in the current market, it seems like a good time to look at what companies have been able to go public, and Titan Machinery (Nasdaq: TITN) has the honor of being the top IPO in terms of aftermarket performance in the last six months.

IPO Watch: MAKO Surgical

This week in IPO Watch, MAKO Surgical (Nasdaq: MAKO), a company with a different approach to knee replacement, plans on going public.

IPO Watch: Transoma Medical

Transoma Medical makes implantable monitoring devices used in biomedical research, often to monitor how a drug affects laboratory animals. It is branching out into a bigger market involving bigger animals: implantable devices monitoring human cardiac patients.

IPO Watch: OGE Enogex Partners L.P.

OGE Enogex Partners L.P. (NYSE: OGP), which is going public this week, plans to pay down debt with the offering proceeds.

IPO Watch: Elixir Pharmaceuticals

This company has no products on the market yet, but it has several in its R&D pipeline that could be interesting. It also has a smart group of experienced health care venture capitalists on board.
