Announcement date

What is the announcement date?

The announcement date is the date when information about a potential IPO first becomes available in the system. This information may come from various sources, such as:

• Official company filing (for example, an S-1 sumbission)
• Public press releases or news reports
• Early market rumors or industry sources collected by the data provider

Because providers often track IPO-related news before any formal confirmation, the announcement date may not correspond to the moment when the company publicly confirmed its IPO plans.
