A growing number of companies are going public and delivering strong performances, creating attractive opportunities for growth-focused investors. Recently, new listings in the United States have rebounded sharply, signaling market recovery, according to Reuters.

Additionally, from a regulatory standpoint, the Trump administration is viewed more favorably by the market, signaling renewed strength.

Behind the Market Momentum

According to IPOX vice president, Kat Liu, as quoted on Reuters, a successful slate of June IPOs and a robust pipeline of well-capitalized, late-stage firms poised to go public, could set the stage for a more active Q4. Strong listings could boost investor confidence and encourage late-stage startups preparing to go public.

Per data from Dealogic, as quoted on Reuters, U.S. IPOs have raised $25.36 billion (as of June 11) this year, impressively higher than the $18.22 billion raised during the same period in 2024 and $9.53 billion in 2023.

Driven by solid market debuts and a rebound in equity sentiment, companies are revisiting IPO plans, fuelling market momentum. Rising expectations of interest rate cuts by the Fed and an improving global trade landscape, investor risk appetite may also increase, another tailwind for the IPO market.
