Training melons and watermelons to grow vertically is referred to as trellising and is one of the advantages of growing melons in a high tunnel. Most melon cultivars and personal size (less than 7 pounds) watermelon cultivars are amenable to trellising.
A direct public offering (DPO), like the more traditional IPO, is a stock's introduction to the stock market. The stock is offered to the public for the first time. Unlike an IPO, which utilizes an underwriter to sell shares to the public, DPO shares are purchased directly from the issuing company.
Step 2. Locate the number of shares the company has sold in the stockholderâs equity section. Divide the number of shares sold by the amount of the âpaid-in capitalâ to get the value of one share of stock. For example, if the company has sold 25,000 IPO stock shares for $500,000, you would divide the 25,000 shares by the $500,000 paid-in capital amount to arrive at a $20-per-share book value. Step 3. Consider the qualitative factors that can affect an IPOs share price.
