Market context
Accelevation moved ahead with its IPO despite surging bond yields and a tightening rate environment that have cooled investor risk appetite elsewhere in the market. Other major technology listings, including OpenAI and Anthropic, have faced delays due to various market and regulatory concerns, while smart ring maker Oura postponed its IPO plans due to market uncertainty.

Will the exercise of the underwriters' 30-day option to purchase additional shares create significant short-term supply pressure on ACCV stock?
