IPC The Hospitalist Takes 2008 Post-IPO Pole Position (IPCM, V, TITN)

Ipcm_logo_2The new top dog among the IPO universe we follow for 2008 is now IPC The Hospitalist Company, Inc. (NASDAQ: IPCM).  Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) had been in that position with the highest gain from its IPO pricing, although today’s drop took care of that.  That is also misleading in that the Visa IPO priced at $44.00 and actually opened up around $60.00 and the lows have only been $55.00.  IPC The Hospitalist is now up roughly 68% from the $16.00 IPO inJanuary.  If you consider that it has actually traded at $16.25 after asubstantial premium give-back in March when shares fell from north of$20.00.
