#IPOWave refers to a wave of initial public offerings (IPOs), that is, when many companies decide to go public in a short period of time. This usually happens when the market is optimistic, there is liquidity, and investors are willing to take risks with new stocks.
What causes an "IPO Wave"?
📈 Favorable market conditions (rising stock market, low interest rates)
💰 High demand for new investments from funds and retail investors
🔥 Technology or innovative companies generating great expectations (for example, unicorn startups)
🧨 FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) from investors and companies that do not want to "miss the opportunity"
Examples of historical IPO Waves:
Dot-com (1999-2000): Wave of technology IPOs. Many failed.
2020-2021: IPOs like Snowflake, Airbnb, Coinbase, and many SPACs. Driven by low rates and post-COVID euphoria.
Are we facing a new one in 2025?
👉 Some analysts believe that a new wave of IPOs is coming in the remainder of 2025 and 2026, due to factors such as:
Market recovery after global uncertainty.
