U.S. IPO activity slowed in the third quarter, with 26 companies going public, matching the first quarter amid ongoing global disruptions. This includes intensified conflict in Iran and rising energy prices, which contribute to inflation and increased market expectations for Federal Reserve rate hikes. The Nasdaq IPO Pulse dipped to a six-month low in September, but IPO capital raised was robust at $34 billion, surpassing totals for all of 2022.
Key data shows that operating companies have raised $146 billion in IPOs so far this year, a figure that exceeds 2021’s total of $141 billion. In contrast, the Nasdaq Stockholm IPO Pulse remains strong, with six new listings in the third quarter and nearly €600 million raised this year, ahead of 2022 and 2023 totals.
Amid these conditions, the U.S. IPO landscape remains optimistic for early 2027, supported by healthy capital raising trends, while the Stockholm market signals a positive outlook as well.
