- Total number of IPOs: 188
- 20 failed to post initial prices above the subscription price
- 36 companies (or perhaps 37, depending on how eBASE does.

- Highest initial price PER was Drecom (Feb 9th), at 953.94
- 8 companies had initial price trailing PER<10, and a further 2 companies were loss-making for the most recent financial reporting period
