ExpertGlossary

• When a stock or bond is offered for sale for the first time, it's considered a new issue.

  New issues can be the result of an initial public offering (IPO), when a private company goes public, or they can be additional, or secondary, offerings from a company that's already public.

  For example, a public company may sell bonds from time to time to raise capital. Each time a new bond is offered, it's considered a new issue.
