Fintech companies are closely monitoring Klarna's upcoming IPO in the U.S., as they wait for favorable conditions to resume their own public offerings. Although Klarna has filed for an IPO, many fintech unicorns like GoCardless and Airwallex believe it's not yet the right time for them to go public. They are focusing on building their businesses instead. Analysts express more optimism about the IPO market conditions improving over the next few years, forecasting a potential increase in IPO activity in Europe and the U.S. as early as 2025.
