Renaissance Capital's Fall 2016 US IPO Preview
September 1, 2016--Year-to-date, 59 IPOs have raised $9.8 billion, 56% fewer offerings than last year and the lowest level of IPO activity since 2009. Yet the IPO market appears ripe for a pickup in activity.
The average IPO in 2016 is up 32% from its offer price (45% excluding biotechs), and 81% of deals are trading above issue (95% ex-biotech). The Renaissance IPO Index has rebounded 32% from its February low and broader markets have rallied. At the same time, volatility has declined and a spate of IPO filings hit at the end of August. The IPO market has averaged 10 deals per month since April, a pace that could slightly accelerate post-Labor Day, putting the year on track for close to 100 IPOs. Activity should be highest in September and October, followed by narrower windows of opportunity around the US election and holiday season.
