Read MoreHide Full Article
Stocks finished the week with a solid day of trading on Friday. While uncertainty and concern continued to send oil prices lower, confidence in the overall health of the economy was lifted even further thanks to a better-than-expected jobs report.
What’s more, recent blockbuster deals like the Snap Inc. IPO have created a renewed interest in initial public offerings among investors. This week, the market saw the debut of J. Jill, an apparel maker and mall-based retailer.
On today's episode of the Zacks Friday Finish Line, Content Writer Ryan McQueeney and Editor Maddy Johnson take on this week's biggest story: the anticipatory state of the IPO market following Snap's historic debut.
On March 9, women’s apparel retailer and mall staple J. Jill (JILL - Free Report) began its life as a publicly traded entity despite volatility and uncertainty rocking the retail industry. Its initial public offering, however, received a lukewarm response from Wall Street, but in Friday morning trading, JILL stock is up almost 3% to $13.02 per share.
Another strong jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) survey — a monthly read of non-farm payroll numbers, including government hiring — has been released before the bell today: 235K new jobs were created in the month of February, continuing the strong labor market we’ve seen for nearly the entire past year.
More Stock News: 8 Companies Verge on Apple-Like Run

Demand could soar from almost nothing to $42 billion by 2025. Reports suggest it could save 10 million lives per decade, which could in turn save $200 billion in U.S. healthcare costs.
A bonus Zacks Special Report names this breakthrough and the 8 best stocks to exploit it. Like Apple in 2007, these companies are already strong and coiling for potential mega-gains. Click to see them right now >>
