Pre-IPO Return Calculator

Every company we can price, ordered from the best return to the worst. Pick any one and choose your own window: you get what the quoted price did, what you would keep after paying to get out, and for the companies that have since gone public, what the holding did up to the IPO price and where it stands today.

Prices are month-end indicative quotes. Latest data: September 2026.

Every company we can price, best to worst

Ranked on the move from the first price we recorded to the latest one. For companies that have since listed, the latest price is what the exchange says, not what a dealer says. Pick any row to work through it in detail.

Top five and bottom five shown. The 30 in the middle are hidden.

The order is the point: the top of this table is not a recommendation and the companies there are not the ones most people are searching for. The median company on this board did -14.4%, and 31 of 40 lost money. Selection is the whole job.

No market comparison for this window

Only 1 other company was tracked across these exact months, too thin to call a market. Pick a shorter window and most of the board comes into view.

13 companies we track but cannot price yet

A return needs two recorded prices. These have a current quote but no history behind it, so they are absent from the table above rather than given an invented starting price.

What this does not tell you

  • Pre-listing prices are indicative dealer quotes we recorded month by month, not executed trades. Nobody was guaranteed either price.
  • Unlisted shares can take months to sell, and sometimes cannot be sold at all. A return you cannot realise is not a return.
  • Ranking by past return says nothing about what comes next. The order of this table will look different next quarter.
  • The Finance Network does not broker these shares, is not a registered investment adviser, and earns nothing from what you decide.
