Some firms pursuing a Reg A+ IPO are betting that celebrities associated with their businesses will translate to more investor demand, according to a skepticism-laden article in The Wall Street Journal. The story, which cites Ashton Kutcher’s stake in Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment (ticker: CSSE), describes Reg A+ as “risky” and in typical WSJ fashion attempts to advocate for investors by raising obvious questions without doing real digging. We at RegAResearch believe there’s a mix of good and bad Reg A+ companies, and encourage investors to do their homework rather than lump an entire category of stocks together based on one characteristic.
