BMO Capital Markets is predicting a significant rebound in the US initial public offering (IPO) market next year. They anticipate that the proceeds could reach between $40 billion and $50 billion, which would be a potential increase of at least 32% compared to this year's figures.
If this prediction holds true, it would mark the highest level of IPO volume since the boom experienced in 2021, which was driven by pandemic-related market activity. Senior bankers at BMO believe that this resurgence in the IPO market could lead to a four-year high in the total number of deals, reflecting renewed investor interest and market confidence.
The forecast excludes blank check companies and focuses on those that raised over $20 million. It is important to note that the formatting of this text is enhanced for better readability, with the use of simple HTML tags such as strong, emphasis,
