IPO Wave Unlikely to Overwhelm Equity Markets -- Market Talk

Dow Jones06-15 13:52

0552 GMT - Julius Baer says the current IPO revival is unlikely to overwhelm markets, as corporate buybacks are expected to reach $1.3 trillion this year, exceeding the total equity issuance and providing a supportive backdrop for new listings. The IPO market is entering its most active phase since 2021. Rather than a warning sign, the IPO wave signals improved confidence in capital markets. According to Mathieu Racheter, head of equity strategy, a strong pipeline of companies and favorable capital conditions point to further increases in issuance activity in the coming quarters. Historical analysis of previous mega-IPOs shows that global equities generally perform well following such IPOs, with little evidence that such waves consistently mark the end of a bull market, he says in a note.
