The IPO calendar looks quiet for now, although after a recent wave of new filings and updates, a number of large issuers could launch in the short week ahead.
Two recent additions on file for billion-dollar listings could launch after the holiday: Kazakhstani “super-app” provider Kaspi.kz (KSPI), which could raise $1.5 billion, and healthcare services provider BrightSpring Health (BTSG), which could raise $1 billion. Another recent filer, Phase 3 bladder cancer firm CG Oncology (CGON), could also launch.
Several other companies that have been publicly on file for longer have recently updated their prospectuses, raising the prospect of more IPO launches. These include specialty insurer Fortegra (TFG), American Healthcare REIT (AHR), and Chinese EV brand ZEEKR (ZK).
Street research is expected for one company in the week ahead, and three lock-up periods will be expiring. For access to Street research and lock-up expiration dates, sign up for a free trial of IPO Pro.
