Two companies are currently scheduled to list in the week ahead, although small issuers may join the calendar during the week.
Cummins spin-off Atmus Filtration (ATMU) is the week’s headliner, planning to raise $275 million at a $1.6 billion market cap. Primarily operating under the Fleetguard brand, the company makes various filtration products for engines and other industrial uses, which are sold in 150 countries. Atmus is profitable, and its OEM customers support recurring revenue from higher-margin aftermarket products, but its three largest customers accounted for about half of 2022 revenue.
Holdover Azitra (AZTR) plans to raise $12 million at a $70 million market cap. The biotech’s pipeline is led by a genetically modified strain of bacteria targeting orphan disease Netherton syndrome. Azitra’s lead candidate is expected to enter a Phase 1b trial in the 1H23, and the company has a joint development agreement with Bayer to develop bacterial microbes for consumer and cosmetic products.
