But there&#8217;s another term you might not be as familiar with: FPO. FPO and IPO are two ways companies raise funds from the public by issuing shares. But what exactly is an FPO in the stock market? How is it different from an IPO?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s take a look!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"0-what-is-fpo-in-the-share-market\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_FPO_in_the_Share_Market\"><\/span>What is FPO in the Share Market?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FPO stands for Follow-on Public Offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a process of issuing additional shares to the public by a company that is already listed on a stock exchange. It is the secondary offering of shares by a listed company to existing or new investors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>FPO is different from <a href=\"https:\/\/shoonya.com\/blog\/ipo-introduction-approach-and-process\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#d79b30\" class=\"has-inline-color\">IPO<\/mark><\/a>, which is the first time a company offers its shares to the public.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is a way for a company to raise more capital, reduce debt, or change its shareholding pattern.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>FPO in the share market can affect the share price, earnings per share, and market capitalisation of the company.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It can also provide an opportunity for investors to buy shares of a company at a discounted price.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-what-is-fpo-explore-the-basics\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_FPO_Explore_the_Basics\"><\/span>What is FPO: Explore the Basics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>FPO stands for Follow-on Public Offering, where companies already listed on the stock market issue more shares to the public.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It&#8217;s a way for companies to raise extra money from investors to fund projects like expansion or debt reduction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dilutive Follow On Public Offerings increase the total number of shares, potentially diluting existing shareholders&#8217; ownership.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Non-dilutive FPOs involve existing shareholders selling their shares to the public without the company issuing new ones.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow-On Public Offers can offer opportunities for both new and existing investors to participate in a company&#8217;s growth journey.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An example of an FPO in the Indian market could be when a well-known company, let&#8217;s say XYZ Ltd., decides to expand its operations by building new factories or entering new markets. To raise funds for this expansion, XYZ Ltd. decides to issue additional shares to the public through Follow-On Public Offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investors who acknowledge the company&#8217;s growth potential may buy these new shares, contributing to the funds needed for expansion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Follow-On Public Offer allows existing shareholders to maintain their ownership percentage in the company while providing an opportunity for new investors to participate in XYZ Ltd.&#8217;s growth journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-what-is-the-difference-between-fpo-and-ipo\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_Difference_between_FPO_and_IPO\"><\/span>What is the Difference between FPO and IPO?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2146\" height=\"1298\" src=\"https:\/\/shoonya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/What-is-the-Difference-Between-FPO-and-IPO.jpg\" alt=\"What is the Difference Between FPO and IPO\" class=\"wp-image-6950\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">What is the Difference Between FPO and IPO<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Basis<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>FPO (Follow-on Public Offering)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>IPO (Initial Public Offering)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Timing<\/td><td>Issued by already listed companies<\/td><td>Issued by companies entering the market for the first time<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Purpose<\/td><td>Raise additional capital for expansion or other purposes<\/td><td>Raise capital for business expansion or to meet financial needs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Existing Shares<\/td><td>The company already has shares trading on the stock exchange<\/td><td>The company doesn&#8217;t have any shares traded publicly<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pricing<\/td><td>Often offered at a discount to the current market price<\/td><td>Usually priced based on company valuation and market demand<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Investor Base<\/td><td>Open to existing shareholders and new investors<\/td><td>Open to institutional and retail investors<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main difference between an FPO and an IPO is that a company that is already listed on a stock exchange conducts Follow-On Public Offers. On the other hand, with an IPO, the company goes public for the first time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the other differences between FPO and IPO are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Follow-on public offers help raise additional capital or reduce debt, while IPOs help raise initial capital or expand the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022\u00a0 Follow-On Public Offer is based on the current market price of the shares, while IPO is based on the valuation of the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022&nbsp; FPO is less risky and less costly than IPO, as the company has already established its reputation and track record in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022\u00a0 Also, Follow-On Public Offers are less attractive and less profitable than IPOs, as the company has already diluted its earnings and shareholding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-types-of-fpo-follow-on-public-offering-in-the-share-market\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_FPO_Follow-on_Public_Offering_in_the_Share_Market\"><\/span>Types of FPO (Follow-on Public Offering) in the Share Market<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-there-are-two-main-types-of-follow-on-public-offers\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"There_are_two_main_types_of_Follow-On_Public_Offers\"><\/span>There are two main types of Follow-On Public Offers:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-dilutive-fpo\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dilutive_FPO\"><\/span>Dilutive FPO<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This occurs when a company issues new shares to the public, increasing the total number of shares outstanding. It can dilute earnings per share and the ownership of existing shareholders. Dilutive FPOs are typically undertaken to fund expansion, diversification, or debt reduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-non-dilutive-fpo\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Non-dilutive_FPO\"><\/span>Non-dilutive FPO<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this scenario, existing shareholders sell their shares to the public without the company issuing new shares. While the company doesn&#8217;t receive proceeds from this type of FPO, it allows existing shareholders to monetise their investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-fpo-follow-on-public-offering-benefits\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FPO_Follow-on_Public_Offering_Benefits\"><\/span>FPO (Follow-on Public Offering) Benefits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FPO can have various benefits for the company and the investors, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022\u00a0 It can help the company raise more capital, improve its financial position, and enhance its growth prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022\u00a0 It can also aid the company to reduce its debt burden, lower its interest cost, and improve its credit rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022\u00a0 Follow-On Public Offers help the company increase its public shareholding, broaden its investor base, and improve its liquidity and marketability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022\u00a0 Lastly, Follow-On Public Offers can help investors buy shares of a company at a lower price than the market price and benefit from the future appreciation of the shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022&nbsp; FPO can help investors to diversify their portfolios, reduce their risk, and increase their returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-conclusion\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a nutshell, an FPO, or Follow-on Public Offering, is a way for already-listed companies to raise additional capital. Contrary to an IPO, an FPO occurs after a company is already trading on the stock exchange. Understanding the basics, types, and benefits of FPOs can help you choose the right investment type!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-faqs-fpo-in-the-share-market\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs_FPO_in_the_Share_Market\"><\/span>FAQs| FPO in the Share Market<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1709628649231\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">\u2022 What is FPO?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">FPO stands for Follow-on Public Offer.
