US IPO Week Ahead: November’s IPO market set for a quiet start

October 30, 2026
Week Ahead

Just one SPAC is currently scheduled to list in the week ahead, although some smaller deals may also join the calendar throughout the week.

A number of sizable companies are on file and eligible to launch in the week ahead, before Anthropic is expected to dominate the IPO calendar. While a fresh sell-off in the AI space makes some of the largest IPOs on file unlikely, two medical products companies could decide to move forward despite the volatility: dental treatments supplier vVardis (VVVV) and spinal implant maker Centinel Spine (CNTL).

Football Manager SPAC (FBLLU), a blank check company targeting a mid-tier European professional football club, is tentatively scheduled to raise $100 million.
