As of June 11, 2023, Nasdaq has hosted 38 IPOs this year, raising a total of $23 billion. Since 2019, Nasdaq has led U.S. Operating Company IPOs, with over 500 companies switching from NYSE to Nasdaq across 12 sectors and 18 countries, representing a combined market value of over $4 trillion since 2005.
Scott Bacigalupo, Nasdaq’s Senior Vice President of Capital Formation, highlighted the significance of the IPO process, which is enhanced by Nasdaq’s real-time technology tools like BookViewer. This tool allows underwriters to monitor order flow and optimize pricing on IPO day, serving as a critical component in balancing supply and demand to establish an opening stock price.
On IPO day, the stabilization agent, typically one of the lead underwriters, works closely with Nasdaq to determine the optimal opening time and price, which is influenced by market conditions and investor demand. Nasdaq’s infrastructure is regularly tested to ensure it can efficiently handle transactions of all sizes.
