The trading that occurs after an initial public offering (IPO) is the aftermarket. The trading volume on the first day that an equity is publicly offered is extremely high. Flipping and aftermarket purchases can cause the volume to unexpectedly rise or drop in the days immediately following an IPO. Investors must be aware of the risks involved with trading in a fast aftermarket. The aftermarket performance is the appreciation or depreciation of an IPO from the offering price forward. However, to get a more realistic benchmark, some investors prefer to track the aftermarket performance from the first day close because of the high volatility during the first day of trading.

The Secondary Market. Used in reference to trading in a new issue. See: Effective Date; Secondary Market.

The trading market that develops for shares after the public offering is over. Orders to buy or sell shares are matched in the over-the-counter (OTC) market by a securities firm acting as a market maker. For NYSE or American Stock Exchange shares, a specialist on the stock exchange will match orders. The quality of the aftermarket is measured by its ability to absorb bid price or asked price orders without major disruptions in the price. That ability is a function of the market's liquidity - the number of shares owned by the public, rather than by company insiders (called the float), and the extent to which the public is active in trading the shares, rather than holding them for the long term.

This is the active market where traders buy and sell shares in a public company. The most common markets are NASDAQ, New York Stock Exchange and American Stock Exchange.
