The week ahead will see three IPOs, led by Goldman LBO PSAV which will be accompanied by two smaller deals that are already OTC listed. IPO activity is still sluggish, but the gradual increase in trailing 90 day IPO returns over the past month (from 5.6% to 13%) and IPO index outperformance over the past month (+2% vs. S&P +1.6%) may help increase the number of deals in the coming weeks.
