US IPO Week Ahead: May IPO market kicks off with defense tech and soft drinks

May 1, 2026
Week Ahead

Two IPOs are currently scheduled for the week ahead, though some smaller names may join the calendar late.

Radio signal analyzer HawkEye 360 (HAWK) plans to raise $400 million at a $2.7 billion market cap. HawkEye designs and operates a constellation of small satellites that collect radio frequency data, then processes that data through proprietary signal processing and AI-enabled analytics software to detect, geolocate, classify, and track emitters. Its portfolio of offerings are used across defense, intelligence, maritime security, and spectrum monitoring applications. HawkEye is coming to market amid strong trading in space-based signaling peers. The company is growing but unprofitable, and it has some customer concentration.

Beverage brand Suja Life (SUJA) plans to raise $200 million at an $871 million market cap. Through its Suja Organic, Vive Organic, and Slice brands, the company sells cold-pressed juices, wellness shots, and functional sodas. Suja is a leader in the cold-press and wellness shot categories, and its vertical integration supports a strong processing cycle. That said, it carries a heavy debt load, and interest expense has weighed on its bottom line.
