The direct listing creates immediate price-discovery risk — the opening reference price is set by order-book dynamics, not an underwritten IPO price. Traders should watch for pre-opening order imbalance data on Nasdaq's NOII tool to gauge initial supply/demand. No lock-up agreements are mentioned, so all registered shares could be sold immediately, creating potential selling pressure.
