No IPOs are currently scheduled to price in the week ahead, though a few SPACs may join the calendar during the week.

There are a number of large issuers waiting in the pipeline once the IPO market becomes more amenable. Some of these deals include Bausch Health spin-off Bausch + Lomb (BLCO), mattress retailer Mattress Firm (MFRM), car sharing platform Turo (TURO), and digital ad firm Aleph Group (ALEF).

Lock-up periods will be expiring for up to five companies. For access to lock-up expiration dates, sign up for a free trial of IPO Pro.
