The IPO Buzz: Biotech Alumis Joins WEBTOON & LandBridge in Late June IPO Run

The late June run for IPOs picked up some steam early today when Alumis Inc. (ALMS Proposed), a Phase II/III clinical biotech, disclosed terms and launched its $300 million IPO. That launch brings to three the number of large traditional IPOs expected to price this week – the last week of June 20204. WEBTOON Entertainment (WBTN Proposed), an LA comics and creative content website with its roots in South Korea, and LandBridge (LB Proposed), a Texas oil and gas land management company, round out this week’s roster of big playable IPOs.

Bankers aim to raise about $889.85 million combined from those three big IPOs – Alumis, WEBTOON and LandBridge – assuming each deal is priced at its mid-point.

Tamboran Resources Corp (TBN Proposed), an Australian natural gas E&P company, is also on this week’s IPO Calendar with plans to raise about $165.8 million. Its SEC filings call Tamboran’s deal a U.S. IPO. The company’s  stock, however, is represented by CHESS Depositary Interests traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. For that reason, IPOScoop classifies Tamboran Resources’ deal as an uplisting to the New York Stock Exchange – and not an IPO.

Seven small-cap IPOs make up the rest of this week’s IPO Calendar with deals that could raise about $103.4 million combined, if each offering is priced at the mid-point of its range.

If all 11 deals on this week’s IPO Calendar get done, bankers will raise about $1.33 billion ($1,334.45 million) in combined proceeds.

Stay tuned.
