This study provides an interdisciplinary examination of the determinants of Initial Public Offering (IPO) timing and market readiness. Integrating perspectives from economics, financial consultancy, trading practice, and entrepreneurial decision-making, the analysis demonstrates that IPO performance is contingent upon both external market conditions and internal organisational preparedness. Economists underscore the influence of macroeconomic cycles, venture capital flows, and volatility indices in shaping IPO windows. Financial consultants emphasise the critical role of governance structures, financial integrity, and operational discipline in sustaining post-listing stability. Traders, in contrast, interpret IPOs primarily as events of liquidity and sentiment-driven volatility, privileging short-term momentum indicators over fundamentals. Business leaders conceptualise IPOs as transformative junctures, motivated by capital sufficiency, investor dynamics, and founder psychology. The study concludes that successful IPOs emerge not from opportunistic timing alone but from the alignment of external conditions with institutional resilience, governance capacity, and long-term strategic vision.
