By , Associate Editor, Money Morning -

palantir ipo on brick

Two of the most highly-anticipated tech IPOs in 2020 began trading on the New York Stock Exchange Sept.

30 (Wednesday).

Palantir (NYSE: PLTR) and Asana (NYSE: ASAN) both went the direct listing route, which means they made existing shares tradeable on the public market rather than creating new ones.

Palantir and Asana are both seen as Silicon Valley “unicorns”, but there are stark differences between the two, as far as what they do, how developed they are, and which is the better buy for investors.

Why Hyliion Stock Is a Better Buy Than Nikola

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning -

Hyliion stock will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange Friday, Oct.

2.

The company is merging with Tortoise Acquisition Corporation (NYSE: SHLL) after a vote by SHLL shareholders on Monday, Sept.

28.

Tortoise Acquisition is up 370% since its IPO in June, from $10 to $47.

The Hyliion reverse merger is big news in the SPAC world, only weeks after Nikola stock fell from grace.

Initially, Nikola traded for $73, but it has since dropped to $19 after rumors of fraud by CEO Trevor Milton.

This might have many investors second-guessing electric vehicle stocks - and the whole Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) model of investment.

But just because Nikola appears to be a dud right now, does not mean there aren't still huge opportunities for stocks in this field.

Hyliion is quite a different animal from Nikola in almost every respect.

Today, you're going to see why and whether or not you should buy it.

Here's When You Should Buy JFrog Stock

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning -

Sept.

15, 2020 was the much anticipated JFrog IPO.

The stock began trading on the Nasdaq at $44 and gained around 50% for the day.

This was the same day as the Snowflake IPO.

It was called "the biggest software IPO of all time" byCNN.

If Snowflake hadn't happened, you'd probably be hearing more about JFrog.

Next to the Snowflake IPO, it has been one of the more talked-about "unicorn" IPOs of 2020.

Is the Grail IPO Worth Investing In?

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning -

The S&P 500 lost 31% in March.

The IPO market saw a huge slump in the ensuing months.

There was little confidence in the public market.

But certain players in the health sector did not hurt the same.

In fact, tech and health stocks seemed more stable with a work-from-home trend and a push for coronavirus vaccines.

While these sectors got a lift from this year's events, they didn't need it.

There will always be companies innovating in tech and health, despite any lockdown scenario.

Grail is one of those companies.

That's why, in a year of scant IPOs, this innovative biotech is one of a handful that have come out announcing their IPO underway.

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning -

The coronavirus hurt the 2020 IPO market for a few months.

There was a 48% drop in IPO activity, a 67% decrease in IPO proceeds for April-March.

This led IPO investors to try other investment vehicles, like SPACs for a potential future price pop.

But tech IPOs are making a comeback this fall.

And there are few more interesting than Israeli software company JFrog.

Here's Whether Rivian Stock Is a Buy After the IPO

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning • @KyleAndersonMM -

Rivian isn't a household name yet, but it will be soon.

The company has been called the "Tesla Killer."

It was valued at $7 billion in December 2019 after receiving over $2.2 billion from startup investors.

And that was before it received another $1.3 billion investment from T. Rowe Price Group Inc. (NASDAQ: TROW) in the same month.

T. Rowe Price isn't the only big name investor.

Rivian has been given $700 million from Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) and $500 million from Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F).

But does all that mean you should buy Rivian stock following the IPO?
