US IPO Week Ahead: Another quiet week for the IPO market amid annual February slowdown

February 19, 2021
Week Ahead

The IPO market’s annual February lull is in full swing, with no IPOs currently scheduled for the week ahead.

While the calendar is quiet at the moment, a handful of IPOs could launch in the coming week, including health insurer Oscar Health (OSCR), which is on file for an estimated $600 million IPO, as well as senior care provider InnovAge Holding (INNV) and low-cost airline Sun Country Airlines Holdings (SNCY), both of which filed to raise $100 million. Additionally, with SPAC activity still reaching new highs, a number of blank check IPOs will likely launch and price.

Street research is expected for eight companies, and lock-up periods will be expiring for two companies. For access to Street research and lock-up expiration dates, sign up for a free trial of IPO Pro.
