They also don’t IPO more than once, usually.

Didn’t know this was even possible. Had to research.

It wouldn’t be called “IPO” anymore, but a company can offer subsequent market shares through a Follow-on Public Offering (FPO.) This occurs when a business raises capital in a second round of stock through either dilutive or non-dilutive options. Good to know.
