Adyen questions.

[quadcitypickers]

Since it will be most likely going with an IPO sometime this year, would it be a good company to invest in, if they have to grow to take over the Paypal for eBay?

Also, Paypal sends out a 1099-K for people who sell over 200 items and 20,000 in sales. What will Adyen do about 1099's?

Thanks?

If you can get in early enough you could make a significantly nice return.  You could have also tied your investment to a bear that is in hibernation for a long while. They don't have to grow to to take over for paypal on ebay, they just have to wait for ebay to give paypal the final boot.  A more prudent approach would be to invest in a company that pays a dividend. 

Adyen ( a payment processing program/system) should  not be issuing 1099's, ebay will more than likely be handling those.

What kind of investor are you?

Are you a gambler hoping to buy low and sell high?

Then buy IPOs and sell them if they go up. But be willing to accept that they may also go down and there will be times when it is best to get out with as much of your original stake as you can.

Are you looking for an investment that will give you a steady income?

Buy stock in an established company that pays dividends year after year.

For an income producing investment, go with banks and utilities, as well as companies that produce products you use daily.

Here is how IPO's often work......

Only the insiders get the opportubity to buy at ther original offer price.

The insiders sell all their stock during the initial (often shortlived) bump

The people who bought on the secondary market MIGHT do well but just as often the stock price quickly falls below the original offer price. It may take a long time to recover (if ever).

Take a look at the Etsy IPO as an example. It's taken three years for the stock to make it back to the level of the original offer price.

The winners in the IPO market are usually the insiders and the broker handling the offer. Of course in some cases if you hold long enough you too can be a winner (just don't hold for too long!).

Buying IPO's is a high risk game, much riskier than buying an established stock that has a performance history you can rely upon.

They aren't going to do anything.  eBay is going to almost certainly be handling that.  Adyen is eBay's client, sellers won't have any account with Adyen.  Adyen is going to pay eBay, eBay is going to pay you, so eBay will issue any required 1099. 

I have no idea about any Adyen IPO or whether it's a good investment.  They'll certainly grow from this, but as was already pointed out, you'll only be able to buy the IPO in the secondary market, and I expect the potential for growth from the eBay client will already be priced in.
