US IPO Week Ahead: Summer IPO market off to a slow start

June 3, 2022
Week Ahead

After weeks of little to no activity, the summer IPO market is starting with a vacant calendar, with just one small IPO that may price in the week ahead. Other small issuers and SPACs may join during the week.

SPI Energy spin-off Phoenix Motor (PEV) plans to raise $20 million at a $168 million market cap. Operating under the Phoenix Motorcars name, the company makes electric drive systems and electric vehicles, and markets and sells EV chargers. As of 12/31/21, it had delivered a total of 104 electric shuttle buses and work trucks. Phoenix Motor is highly unprofitable and has yet to generate significant revenues.
