  • ASX Stocks capital raising guide: Everything you need to know

 

January is offering investors a feast of gold, tech and biotech IPO offers to dine on, with ASX new arrivals seeking to raise a combined $85.5m of fresh funds for their businesses.

The year of 2020 served up a menu of 66 ASX IPOs including last arrival BPM Minerals (ASX:BPM), a gold and nickel explorer with projects in WA.

Two-thirds of last year’s IPOs returned a profit of about 42 per cent since their listing on the ASX in 2020, and one-third lagged their listing price.

Strongest performing IPO in 2020 was asset management tech stock Cosol (ASX:COS) up nearly 300 per cent since its listing with a market cap of $103m.

Trailing closely behind Cosol in terms of price performance was health firm 4D Medical (ASX:4DX) and copper-nickel explorer Desert Metals (ASX:DM1).

Each of these stocks has risen 235 per cent above its listing price in 2020, which for Desert Metals is even more spectacular as it only listed last month.

Resources and mining stocks supplied half of the ASX IPOs that gained more than 100 per cent last year.

At the other end of the price performance spectrum for 2020 is pay-by-installments stock Zebit (ASX:ZBT), down 40 per cent from its list price.

And medical company Emyria (ASX:EMD), which produces cannabinoid treatments, is lagging 55 per cent from its start point on the ASX in February.
