March 28, 2025
Week Ahead

A handful of companies are scheduled to go public on US exchanges in the coming week.

REIT SmartStop Self Storage (SMA) plans to raise $851 million at a $1.7 billion market cap. The company owns and operates a portfolio 208 self storage properties in the US and Canada. It is the tenth largest owner and operator of self storage properties in the US, according to the Inside Self Storage Top-Operators List for 2024. SmartStop plans to make monthly distributions (5.1% annualized yield at the midpoint).

Singapore-based Bgin Blockchain (BGIN) plans to raise $50 million at a $652 million market cap. Bgin is a digital asset technology company with proprietary cryptocurrency mining technologies and a strategic focus on alternative cryptocurrencies. The company has delivered explosive growth but is heavily dependent on emergent coins, which have been volatile.

Oil & gas equipment maker OMS Energy Technologies (OMSE) plans to raise $50 million at a $399 million market cap. The company manufactures surface wellhead systems and oil country tubular goods, primarily for onshore and offshore E&P activities. OMS has a 10-year agreement with Saudi Aramco, which accounts for a majority of the company’s revenue.

While not included below, conservative news channel Newsmax Media (NMAX) plans to list on the NYSE in the coming week after completing its Regulation A+ offering.
