Where IPO information comes from
| Source | What it is | What to keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| Public S-1 or F-1 on SEC EDGARSEC EDGAR, consulted on October 28, 2026 | The registration statement a company files publicly before a US listing, with audited financial statements. | The confirmed signal that a US IPO is getting close; the date still depends on the SEC review and on markets. |
| Confidential draft registration statementSEC, Division of Corporation Finance, consulted on October 28, 2026 | A draft the SEC reviews without publishing it; many companies announce that they have submitted one. | It confirms preparation, not a date; the public filing comes later. |
| Press reports citing people familiar with the matter | Reports by news agencies and newspapers on plans, dates and target valuations. | Often early and useful, but not confirmed by the company and subject to change. |
| Secondary market pricesUnicorn Private Research, consulted on October 28, 2026 | Prices of private transactions in existing shares, reported by brokers or the press. | Indicative and based on few trades; they are not a listing price. |
