A few things to clarify:
IPO can be valued. In fact even private company can be valued. In most circumstances, we use a tool call price earning ratio. This is where you derive whether a company is cheap or expensive versus it’s industry peers.
Sell or keep IPO?
At the end of the day, do your homework. Know the company you are investing (not punting) in.
Also note the current market sentiment, as short term price action is often driven by sentiment. Even good stock fall in bad sentiment, but that is where u should be buying if u are investing. Just ask buffet.
IPO process
There is the pre-IPO, placement agents and Underwriter.
Know their roles. Each has their objectives in IPO game. As a serious IPO investors ask your placement agent what discoubt does the Pre I gets, whether counter is hard or soft underwritten, who are their anchor investors.
Hope this helps.
