Bloomin' Brands (NASDAQ: BLMN)
The Tampa-based owner of Outback Steakhouse and other chains went public in August 2012 after slashing its public offering plans. The company sold 16 million shares at $11 each, lower than the 21 million shares it had sought to sell for between $13 and $15 apiece. The stock popped 11.9 percent on its first day, but has since surged to above $21 and has gained more than 40 percent over the last 12 months.
