IPOs: 2018 August

A mixed bag of 9 major IPOs with valuations, and known start dates.  Sonos, a home electronics music hub, and Arlo Tech, a home video monitoring hub, lead a light month.  Cushman & Wakefield also IPO’s this year, but the company is easily 100 years old and we consider it a bit of a red herring in the data so we excluded it.
