What happened

Historical data suggest that major IPOs don't usually flag a bull market peak in the year that follows.

Why it matters

SpaceX is poised to launch the biggest IPO ever when it begins trading this Friday.

Common ground

But a recent analysis from Canaccord Genuity shows that broad stock market averages typically tend to outperform big IPOs after a year.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
