While there are no IPOs scheduled to price in the shortened holiday week, this summer has been the busiest since 2014, and we expect that rate to continue post-Labor Day. 77 US IPOs are publicly on file as of August 30, including 45 that have kept their filings current. We estimate that 70-90 more US IPOs could raise over $20 billion by year end. Stay tuned for our Fall Preview coming out Tuesday with more estimates (IPO Pro only).
There are currently two Chinese companies scheduled for mid-September IPOs (NIO and 111), and we expect a number of deals to join them in the calendar this week. Potential launches include Farfetch (FTCH), Qutoutiao (QTT), CooTek (CTK), Zekelman Industries (ZEK) and Eventbrite (EB).
Quiet periods for four recent IPOs are set to expire this coming week. Street research is expected on Tuesday for union-owned New York bank Amalgamated Bank (AMAL), California bank Pacific City Financial (PCB), regional contract airline Mesa Air Group (MESA) and antibody therapy biotech Vaccinex (VCNX).
