US IPO Market Thrives: New Filings and Notable Delays
The US IPO market remains active with successful launches and notable delays, including KinderCare's $576 million IPO and Moove's postponed offering.
In a remarkable display of market strength, Nasdaq has once again outperformed the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in initial public offerings (IPOs) for the sixth consecutive year. With a total of approximately $22 billion raised across 160 IPOs in 2023, Nasdaq is setting the stage for a potentially explosive IPO market in 2024 and beyond.
The Nasdaq exchange has seen a resurgence in IPO activity, marking the highest volume of listings in three years. This growth comes after a period of stagnation, attributed to rising interest rates that increased the cost of capital for companies. The optimism surrounding the IPO market is palpable, with many analysts predicting a robust environment for new listings in 2024.
Several factors are contributing to the resurgence of IPOs on Nasdaq:
Among the standout companies that made their debut on Nasdaq this year are:
The competition between Nasdaq and NYSE remains fierce, with both exchanges vying for new listings that generate annual fees. Nasdaq's strategy has focused on attracting a diverse range of companies, while NYSE emphasizes the quality of its listings over quantity. NYSE executives have pointed out that a significant percentage of Nasdaq's IPOs did not meet their listing criteria, suggesting a different approach to market success.
As we move into 2024, the outlook for IPOs appears promising. Nasdaq's global head of listings, Jeff Thomas, expressed confidence in a robust IPO market, stating that conditions are ripe for companies to access public markets in the first half of the year. With the potential for deregulation and other pro-business policies, investors are optimistic about the future of IPOs.
In conclusion, Nasdaq's continued dominance in IPO listings highlights a significant shift in the market landscape, with expectations for further growth in the coming years. As companies look to capitalize on favorable conditions, both Nasdaq and NYSE will continue to play pivotal roles in shaping the future of public offerings.
