US IPO Week Ahead: Drilling solutions provider HMH Holding to debut amid higher oil prices

March 27, 2026
Week Ahead

One IPO is currently scheduled in the week ahead, as markets remain trepid amid geopolitical volatility, although some smaller issuers may join the calendar throughout the week.

Drilling equipment and services provider HMH Holding (HMH) is set to raise $216 million at an $883 million market cap. HMH Holding first filed for its US IPO in August 2024; the deal's launch coincides with a sharp increase in oil prices since the outbreak of the war in Iran. HMH's publicly-traded parent companies, Baker Hughes (38% post-IPO stake) and Akastor (38%), have each traded up more than 30% year-to-date. HMH is a leading equipment provider for the oil and gas industry, with a focus on offshore operations through sales of projects and products, and aftermarket services. The company operates globally, with a presence in 16 countries and sales in over 60 countries. It serves core customer categories: drilling contractors, operators (including oil and gas companies and mining companies), and manufacturers.
