5 IPOs to Watch for in 2019

Last year didn’t work out so well for its debutantes. A whopping 190 companies went public on U.S. exchanges -- the largest number of IPOs since 2014 -- but things didn’t look pretty by the end.

Hope springs eternal for the class of 2019. The market is off to a bullish start, and a lot of notable companies are likely to hit the market in the coming months. Let’s take a closer look at some of the head-turning companies that may be going public in 2019.
