Semiconductor Summit: Return of the IPO?
Semiconductor Summit: Return of the IPO?
On July 21, we assembled a unique panel of C-level executives and bankers from Advanced Analogic, iWatt, MaxLinear and Morgan Stanley and an exclusive audience of influencers and pioneers in the semiconductor market. The debate explored what it takes for a semi company to make it in today's cyclical, yet rebounding, semiconductor market. What macroeconomic trends could advance or retract the recovery and what does it all mean for semiconductor companies who are considering an IPO? Are we seeing a comeback of traditional growth IPOs, with a growing appetite among investors? What is required of a semi company to go public these days, and how far in advance should you prepare for an IPO?
