- Market Recovery: Despite challenges from tariffs, a government shutdown, and a pullback in AI stocks, the US IPO market showed gradual recovery in 2025, with new issuance reaching a four-year high, indicating resilience and renewed investor confidence.
- Increase in Issuance: The number of new IPOs significantly increased in 2025, reflecting a rebound in demand for new listings, which is expected to support future capital market activities and provide companies with essential funding opportunities.
- Impact of Volatility: Although the market is recovering, external volatility has dampened hopes for a full rebound, which may lead investors to adopt a cautious stance in the short term, potentially affecting IPO pricing and overall market performance.
- Future Outlook: With a solid market foundation, analysts anticipate continued growth in IPO activities throughout 2025, which will create more financing opportunities for businesses and may attract greater investor interest in emerging markets.
