For the first time in over six months, Wall Street is coming to town with a multi-deal IPO calendar. Bankers plan to price five new issues this week, and there’s something for everyone.
Wall Street’s syndicate calendar was far from dead in January. The traffic came from secondary offerings as 14 deals were priced. However, IPOs are not far behind. The new-issue door is expected to swing open during the week of February 9. Five deals are on the launching pad.
As January 2009 comes to a close, the whole world is still waiting for the year’s first U.S. IPO. One was scheduled for last week, but it was pushed back to February. You might say it was a victim of the stock market’s sell-off.
