Do companies typically announce an IPO on a Friday, right before market close?

Looking at data from the last couple of years, it appears that filling on Friday is pretty common. (see ipomonitor.com for data).

  pbpaste |sort|uniq -c|sort -k1nr
    614 Friday
    436 Monday
    339 Thursday
    326 Tuesday
    283 Wednesday
      2 Sunday

I love this site. Thanks

Those two on Sunday are interesting. I wonder if they are data errors and were really Monday but in another time zone.

an S1 isn't an IPO it's a preliminary to an IPO.

Doesn't seem like. Facebook 2012: Wednesday, Twilio 2016: Thursday, Snap 2017: Thursday
