As long as the stock market doesn’t crash this year, investors can continue to join major companies that have an upcoming IPO 2018.

It is shaping up to be an amazing year for companies that want to go public. Led by major tech companies, it is possible that we will have some big IPO stocks 2018 to watch out for. Investors should keep an eye open for these companies because they could become money-making opportunities.

Here are 9 companies with a potential upcoming IPO 2018:

1. Dropbox

After much anticipation, Dropbox is finally going to have their big IPO. They are reportedly targeting a $500 million fundraise with their IPO, which may happen by late March. Dropbox has the potential to be the next big FANG stock (Facebook, Apple, Netflix and Google).

2. WeWork

There’s been a lot of speculation about 2018 finally being the year that WeWork goes public. The popular co-working space has been ramping up operation all year in anticipation of an eventual IPO. Make no mistake — WeWork will eventually go public, but maybe not this year.

3. Airbnb

You can file Airbnb under the “someday IPO list” because they are rapidly growing. However, 2018 might not be that year. Perhaps they will file for an IPO during late 2018. If not, there’s always next year.

4. DocuSign

While tech company DocuSign hasn’t officially filed for a public listing yet, it is pretty obvious that they will have an upcoming IPO 2018. A report last year revealed the company’s intent to bring their company to market in early 2018. It could happen any week now.

5. Fanatics

This sports merchandising company raised $1 billion last year from a bank, but there are no real plans for an IPO yet. But at the rate that they are expanding, anything is possible.

6. Lyft

Lyft has long been rumored to go public for years now. But 2018 could very well be the year it actually happens, and investors should keep them on their radar. In the past year, Lyft has experienced increased rider growth. They have also been new developments within the company, such as new rounds of funding. These are signs of a potential IPO in 2018.

7. BuzzFeed

On the one hand, BuzzFeed has been considered to be a company that will finally achieve an IPO in 2018. However, their 2017 revenue goals were not reached, thus an IPO seems very unlikely this year. But we will see if that changes.

8. 23AndMe

Last year, 23AndMe raised about $200 million. The genetic testing company is poised to have an IPO in 2018 as they continue to grow, but there is no official word yet. If it goes public, investors might want a piece of the action.

9. An Upcoming IPO 2018 For Spotify

This might be the other big tech giant to get an IPO in 2018. Spotify is poised to go public this spring, but there is a catch. They are expected to have sort of like a non-IPO where only institutional investors can purchase shares. It is a controversial model that is worth watching.
