Datadog and Ping Identity are the two most highly anticipated deals among the six IPOs scheduled to make their debuts this week. Collectively, IPO bankers expect to raise an estimated $1.73 billion from this six-pack of deals.
At this pace, this is a worthwhile IPO Calendar. On an annualized basis, this IPO traffic would amount to 312 deals raising nearly $90 billion. But as we all know, the IPO machinery takes a few holidays during the year. The most recent hiatus was the break stretching from mid-August to about a week after Labor Day. But now the IPO Calendar is back in the September swing of things.
Datadog and Ping both hail from the technology sector. Three other IPOs on tap this week are from the healthcare sector while the remaining one is a blank check deal.
The IPO game starts Monday evening. Let’s take a look at this week’s deals, organized by pricing and trading dates.
