Barron's IPO Roundup 7-2-07

Description:

From Barron's 7-2-07:

"If the queue of companies lined up to go public in the second half of 2007 says anything about expectations for the stock market, the chorus of doomsayers may need to rethink their song. The number of initial public offerings, or IPOs, completed year-to-date is up about 25% from the first half of 2006, while the backlog of deals in waiting is valued at $17.6 billion, around the same level as last year. More important, the quality of companies in the pipeline suggests some new stocks will be big winners...It has paid to invest in IPOs this year; the average new issue has returned about 12% since its offering, well above the mid-single-digit returns logged by the Dow Jones industrials and other market measures.

This year's IPOs are on track to raise more than last year's $40.7 billion, with help from new tech, telecom and energy offerings. Orbitz, Dice Holdings and Cosan are three to watch."
