Philip says that Delavigne has "nowhere to go but up". Which of the following idioms expresses the same idea as Philip's phrase?
If a business "goes public", it starts to offer stocks or shares for sale to the general public. This is unrelated to the expression "the sky is the limit".

To "lose ground" is often used as a business idiom. However, it expresses the idea that one company is behind another, or several others, and is progressively falling behind. This might indicate that the company needs to "make up" or "catch up" distance or sales etc. This is not what Philip is saying.
