The last two weeks of June closed out the month with a bang. A total of 22 IPOs were priced, according to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings. This excludes unit offerings. And then Old Mother Hubbard’s cupboard went bare. Consider the following: Last week there were no IPOs and this week looks […]

In many communities throughout the United States, crowds will turn out to be entertained by parades, bands and fireworks to celebrate Independence Day – also known as the July 4th holiday, which falls on Wednesday. Wall Street will be closed that day. The IPO market traditionally shuts down for the Fourth as well. This year […]

The IPO Calendar is on fire as Wall Street wraps up the first six months of 2018. For the final week of June, bankers expect to price 16 IPOs to raise $2.83 billion. That’s a lot of traffic. You have to reach back to the week of July 28, 2014, for a busier calendar. That’s […]

This week’s calendar lists 13 IPOs looking to raise almost $1.6 billion. It is loaded with nine health-care offerings. To account for the rest of it, the calendar includes a REIT, two SPACs and one technology deal. The tech IPO appears to be “the pick of the week.” Worth noting: Eight of this week’s 13 […]

In June’s first week, bankers priced two IPOs. June’s second week kicks off on Monday with eight deals on the calendar – and another five in the wings for the following week. That’s a total of 15 IPOs as we slide into mid-June. Last week, “The IPO Buzz” highlighted June’s monthly IPO traffic from 2001 […]

The recent flurry of activity […]

There are no new deals on the IPO calendar this week, when the U.S. stock market will be closed on Monday for Memorial Day. The IPO Buzz will not be published today. The IPOScoop.com staff is observing a long holiday weekend break, in sync with most on Wall Street. We will resume publishing later this […]

Two IPOs attracting attention this week are in the money game – EVO Payments, a global payment processor, and GreenSky, a digital lending platform. Those names are among eight deals aiming to raise over $1.26 billion on this week’s IPO calendar. That’s about normal for today’s IPO traffic. The U.S. capital markets closed on Friday, […]

Wall Street bankers raised $3.13 billion in the IPO market last week. This week the numbers melt down to $727.7 million, but there is a reason. Last week’s high-profile deal clocked in with a disappointing $2.75 billion. AXA Equitable Holdings (EQH) had originally filed to price 137.25 million shares at $24 to $27 each to […]

When AXA Equitable Holdings (EQH proposed) filed to price its $3.5 billion IPO on April 26, 2018, a lot of eyes snapped open. That was a giant IPO. The pricing date was set for Wednesday evening, May 9, to trade on Thursday morning. In time, other IPOs joined AXA’s name on the calendar for the […]
