What is a Death Star IPO?
A Death Star IPO is a wildly successful IPO. The term is a reference to the Star Wars movies, in which Darth Vader's Death Star battle station could pulverize other planets with a single laser beam.
How Does a Death Star IPO Work?
For example, let's say Company XYZ invents a cure for cancer and patents the invention. The company can change the world and make its owners fabulously wealthy, so investors are drooling over the company's upcoming $900 million IPO. The stock starts trading, and on its first day the share price triples. This is a Death Star IPO.

Why Does a Death Star IPO Matter?
