IPO News This Week: Market Takes a Holiday After Record Week

Last week’s initial public offering (IPO) calendar included 13 firms looking to enter the public markets. All but one were successful and raised a total of around $2.3 billion in new capital, about $500 million less than planned. The coming week with its July 4 holiday falling on Wednesday has no IPOs scheduled.

IPO ETF manager Renaissance Capital on Friday issued its report on second-quarter 2018 IPOs. The firm reported 60 IPOs in the quarter, the highest number in the past four years although the $13.1 billion raised was lower than the first-quarter total of $15.6 billion.

Through the week ending June 29, IPO ETF manager Renaissance Capital reported that 105 IPOs have priced in the U.S. so far this year, up 36% year over year. Total proceeds raised through last week equaled $28.6 billion, up about 40% year over year.

For 2017, Renaissance Capital reported a total of 160 IPOs, up 52% year over year from 105 in 2016. Total 2017 proceeds amounted to $35.5 billion compared with a 2016 total of $18.8 billion. Renaissance Capital does not include “best efforts” or blank-check companies in its totals, nor does it include IPOs that raise less than $10 million.
