Since the first of the year, the IPO market has done nothing but slip, slide and stumble. Last week’s traffic was an example.

The financial press has recently reported a surge in the number of IPO cancellations, but that’s only half the story. What has been overlooked has been the number of new IPO filings. They have been running at a faster pace. The ratio of new filings versus cancellations has been 2-to-1.

The timetable for the IPO Express can be found in the new-issues calendar. Lately it has been bleak, due to the stock market’s correction. But there’s light at the end of the tunnel.

It’s an ill wind that doesn’t blow some good, and the recent blast of frigid weather on Wall Street could not have come at a better time for the IPO calendar.

The best thing about this week’s IPO calendar is most of the deals are to be priced Thursday evening for Friday’s trading. By then, hopefully, the stock market’s four-week sell-off will have been snapped.
