Cost to become public represents 4.8% of the initial offer's value
Conclusion from Deloitte's study, in partnership with B3, which covered IPOs carried out over 12 years
The IPO cost in Brazil stood at 4.8% of the distributed value of initial offerings released by companies that held IPOs (Initial Public Offerings) in the last 12 years, according to the median ascertained by a study performed by Deloitte, in partnership with B3 – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão. The investment required is precisely one of the main concerns of private companies that want to enter the stock market.
With the purpose of bringing useful information to the Brazilian capital market participants, and also to potential interested in joining it, the survey “IPO Costs in Brazil – An analysis of the offerings between 2005 and 2017” was conducted with 198 companies that became public or carried out subsequent stock offerings (the so-called follow-ons) between January 2005 and April 2017.
The commissions, represented by the expenses on coordinators, were identified as the largest cost for a company that wants to go public. In the list of expenses, there are also those related to lawyers, consultants and auditors.
The report shows that, while commissions present variable costs, other expenses present fixed cost characteristics, being consistently reduced by the increase in the volume of distributions.
In 2017, the offers presented a bias to increase when compared with the previous years. Until April 2017, three offerings were recorded, the highest number since 2014.

Innovation and resource management remain crucial in the health care industry
Collaborative development of products and operational restructuring are paths for the greater efficiency in the sector
In the search for the perfect triad – improve health, improve service and reduce expenses – the health care industry needs to reinvent itself. The 2017 editions of the studies “Global Health Care Outlook” (aimed at the health care industry) and “Global Life Sciences Outlook” (aimed at the pharmaceutical and laboratory industry), conducted by Deloitte, address how innovation and resource management contribute for the health care industry to obtain the “more for less” effect.
Increasingly, health and quality of life themes will have financial impact for companies, institutions and governments. To deal with the constant changes, it will be necessary to incorporate innovations in business models. The study of trends for the health care industry indicates that there is need for transformation in the way health care companies deal with prevention, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of diseases.
The trend analysis for the health care industry indicates that the sector’s institutions are innovating through multiple paths to achieve their goals of quality, cost and efficiency. Among them, we highlight the collaborative development of products, portfolio management, operational restructuring, growth through mergers and acquisitions and the human capital transformation.
The trends study for the pharmaceutical and laboratory industry, in turn, identifies a chain fragmentation, in which each link operates differently, with different tools, technologies and processes. Implementing elements that integrate this chain can be of great relevance to the segment. Another conclusion points out that the use of management platforms, including analytics and big data, can be a solution to integrate relevant points to cost control.
