Ticker Talk

Signaling keen interest in what could be the year’s first major initial public offering, Santa Clara, Calif.-based Neoforma.com Inc. (NEOF) said Thursday that it raised the expected price range of its shares to $10-$12 from $8-$10. But Internet retailer Buy.com Inc. (BUYX) of Aliso Viejo has pushed back its much-anticipated IPO, originally planned for this week, until early next month. Company executives would not give the reason for the delay, citing the so-called quiet period preceding an IPO.
