新規上場の目論見書が公開
The prospectus for the new listing has been released.
目論見 means 'plan' or 'scheme' in a general sense, often with a slightly negative connotation of a hidden agenda. 目論見書 is specifically the written document (prospectus) used in finance.
Compound of 目論見 (mokuromi, 'plan, scheme') + 書 (sho, 'document'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the word is a straightforward combination of its parts.
