By , Associate Editor, Money Morning - • Print | Email

The IPO flubbed, and WeWork will now try to go public a different way.

What's changed? This company will be under a different kind of management, called a special purpose acquisition company.

Yes, they are jumping on the SPAC train.

A WeWork SPAC deal is especially interesting since the 2019 WeWork IPO became one of the biggest disappointments of the decade.

It was one of the largest real estate companies in the world, valued at $47 billion, before cutting its valuation to $10 billion and withdrawing its IPO bid.

Here's how the SPAC deal is going down, and whether or not WeWork stock is a buy.

Here's When to Buy Coupang Stock After the IPO

By , Director of Research, Money Morning • @alexkagin - • Print | Email

The Coupang IPO may very well be the biggest of the year.

While the Korean firm may be new to many investors, it's part of a trend you know a lot about.

In 2020 online spending represented 21.3% of total retail sales, up 44% since the previous year.

Global retail e-commerce sales for 2020 were over $4 trillion.

That is a lot of money spent online.

Enter Coupang, a Korean e-commerce titan that could go public with a valuation of around $50 billion under the ticker CPNG.

This would make it the largest IPO in a company based outside the U.S.

since Alibaba over five years ago.

Here's what makes this company so exciting and whether it makes sense to try to get into the stock at the IPO.
