NHL Pittsburgh Penguins Skyrocket Up 86% on AllSportsMarket.com Release Sunday
NHL Hockey action started earlier than expected this year when the global sports trading exchange AllSportsMarket.com released all 30 NHL Hockey Teams in the largest sports IPO offer to date. The days mixed performers included the Toronto Maple Leafs, Detroit Red Wings, Edmonton Oilers, Pittsburgh Penguins and the Chicago Black Hawks.
New York, NY (PRWEB) September 2, 2005 -- NHL Hockey action started earlier
than expected this year when the global sports trading exchange
AllSportsMarket.com released all 30 NHL Hockey Teams in the largest sports IPO
offer to date. The days mixed performers included the Toronto Maple Leafs,
Detroit Red Wings, Edmonton Oilers, Pittsburgh Penguins and the Chicago Black
Hawks.
The Pittsburgh Penguins were by far the hottest pick on the board.
Opening with the lowest IPO price of the NHL teams ($5.25 US) and a float of
2,000 shares, the Penguins sold out within minutes of their release and reached
a trading high of ($9.77 US) by Sunday’s close. They are currently holding a
38.9% gain. Traders on AllSportsMarket.com feel the post 2003-2004 NHL season
additions of Sergei Gonchar, Jocelyn Thibault, Mark Recchi, Zigmund Palffy, John
LeClair and NHL number one draft pick Sidney Crosby have added life to the team.
Yet many stress the need for Mario Lemieux to stay healthy in order for the
Pittsburgh Penguins to make the playoffs. A big pre-release favorite which has
not met early hopes have been the Detroit Red Wings.
The Detroit Red
Wings were forecasted to see huge early jumps in price but have not done so.
With the highest IPO release of any NHL team ($12.50 US) less than 700 shares of
the initial 2,000 share float has sold. This has pushed the current market price
to ($12.46 US) per share. Quite the opposite has happened for the Edmonton
Oilers.
The Edmonton Oilers, who were picked by traders from the
beginning to show solid gains, open Rookie Camp on September 5 at the University
of Alberta. They opened on Sunday with an IPO price of ($8.50 US). Since then
the Edmonton Oilers have sold out nearly 50% of their initial float and closed
on Wednesday, August 31 at ($8.89 US) per share. Unlike the Red Wings or the
Oilers, the Chicago Black Hawks were early underdogs for investors prior to the
IPO, but the trading floor action told a different story.
The Chicago
Black Hawks sold out their entire float within the hour of release and have
nearly doubled in price from ($5.50 US) per share to ($10.04 US) per share, as
of close on Aug. 31, 2005. Despite their strong gains, some hockey fans on the
AllSportsMarket.com forums feel that although, the NHL Black Hawks made the
right move by signing goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin to a four year $27 million
deal. And acquired defenseman Adrian Aucion during the lock-out, they still lack
the necessary offensive firepower to rival the Western Conference. However,
these debates did little to slow down the trading of another NHL IPO favorite,
the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Toronto Maple Leafs quickly sold out 41.25%
of their initial IPO float with an opening price of ($11.50 US) and closed on
Wednesday Aug 31 at ($12.02 US). There are ASM traders who warn against getting
too excited this early in the season, NHL rumors on ASM have it that after a
year off the ice it could be anyone’s game come opening day on October 5. When
every team in the league will face-off, creating a record for most NHL games
played in a day.
Company President Chris Rabalais said in an interview
earlier this week "Since the cancellation of the 2004/2005 season, almost 7,000
sports traders from around the world have been anxiously awaiting the NHL IPO…
and this comes on the heels of a first ever partnership with the Costa Rican
FIFA Soccer League (ASM: FICOS)"
The ASM Index reached 6,459, an all time
high, at close on Wednesday Aug 31, 2005. With trading volume up almost 100%
every day since Sunday’s NHL release.
Each of the 30 NHL teams had a
2,000 share float for the IPO and an opening dividend of $3,000 US.
