On today’s episode of Shopping for Stocks, Editor Maddy Johnson takes a look at what could be one of the most interesting IPOs in years: Canada Goose.

Canada Goose, the company known for its $1,000 parkas, is hoping to raise as much as $240 million, and list shares in both New York and Toronto. It’s offering 20 million shares priced in the range of $14 and $16 CAD. At the top of the range, Canada Goose would be valued at $1.7 billion CAD, or over $2 billion USD.

How will its IPO perform?

Canada Goose’s IPO could be the biggest apparel debut since Lululemon (LULU - Free Report) , and if Snap Inc.’s (SNAP - Free Report) IPO performance the other day is any indication, investors are certainly hungry. The tech company could have opened a window for other businesses to make their market debuts.

And even with renewed interest back on tech unicorns like Uber and Airbnb, the next big IPO could come from a company that specializes in outrageously expensive winter wear.

Canada Goose will also have to take the uneasy and unfriendly retail environment into consideration, as well as its limited product selection. Its mid-level competitors like Patagonia and The North Face offer twice the product at half the price, but despite this, Canada Goose’s popularity is currently at an all-time high. Have you noticed all the Canada Goose coats on the streets these past few months?
