Appendix: How to Find an Emerging Tech Firm from the U.S. Stock Market
(1) If you already have a firm in mind, you can analyze it. Make sure the firm is in technology industry (note: any technology), and its IPO date in the U.S. stock market is after January 1, 2020. One purpose of this project is to encourage you to learn new knowledge. Thus, this time limit is set.
(2) If you don’t have a firm in mind, you can search the IPO database on sources such as Yahoo Finance, as shown below:
(2.1) Go to https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/calendar/ipo?from=2020-12-13&to=2020-12-19&day=2020-12-16
(2.2) I just choose IPO on 2020 12 16 as an example. You do not need to choose the same day. You can click the “Prev” and “Next” buttons to go through listed companies on each day. You can also set your own date in the Events Calendar to search newly listed companies, as shown below.
You can take a look at a few different days, and look for the companies that interest you. You can click the company’s symbol, then Yahoo Finance will give you all the fundamentals such as company’s business summaries, income statements, balance sheets, etc. for supporting your answers. As long as you cite the reference sources, the citation does not count as plagiarism.
BTW, it doesn’t hurt to browse a few different companies, as you will learn all kinds of amazing new technologies when you compare the companies. This is one important purpose of this project. Just make sure the company you choose is a tech firm that has an IPO date in the U.S. stock market after January 1, 2020.
