Tech's largest IPOs struggle to satisfy investors in 2019

The year has been busy for IPOs, with big names like Uber, Pinterest and Slack making their debut on the market.

It was also a year of mixed fortunes for public offers. Some companies, such as the Zoom Technologies videoconferencing start-up, are trading well above their opening price. Others, like the Lyft company, specializing in hiking, have been under water since day one.

As we enter the last months of 2019, two other big names should issue shares to the general public: the start-up Coworking WeWork and the connected fitness company Peloton. Both are valued north of $ 1 billion, the traditional brand of unicorns, but still have to generate profits in a highly competitive market.

In the case of WeWork, there is already an incredible skepticism about the company and indications that it will be listed on the stock market at a much lower valuation than it had been in the private markets.

If WeWork becomes public with a lower valuation, it would enter the market in a depreciated state. But at least it would not be alone.

Here is the list of injured technology companies that entered the public markets in 2019 and come out on a stretcher. There is no reason for these companies not to be able to reverse the situation, but they still have a lot to do with investors.
