2012 IPOs

The New Year is here, and the finance world is all abuzz about 2012 IPOs.  What are we looking at this year, after a slightly disappointing IPO world in the latter half of 2011?  You got it: the Facebook IPO is slated to finally hit the charts this May.

Another big one to watch for 2012 IPOs is the Carlyle Group IPO, which actually filed last September.  A big player in the world of private equity, this company manages more than  $150 billion in assets.  The Carlyle Group IPO has been in the making for years, but 2010 may finally be it.

Get ready for the other 2012 IPOs like Kayak Software, Glam Media, several energy companies, some more finance companies, and perhaps even as exciting as the Facebook IPo, Ceasars Entertainment.

Ceasar’s Entertainment owns more than 50 casinos across the globe under the familiar names of Harrah’s, Ceasar’s, and Horseshoe brands.
