What Investors Need to Know About the Alarm.com Holdings IPO

All things considered, Alarm.com looks like it should attract strong investor interest. Revenue continues to rise, and profitability is also improving.

In its IPO filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company quoted encouraging research from Parks Associates. A survey showed that in 2014, 67% of broadband Internet-enabled homes polled found smart home features "appealing," but less than one in 12 had installed such equipment and services.

That is a big market to tap into, and this company is in a strong position to do so. The fresh capital it will raise with this IPO should help greatly in its efforts to lead the market.
