Will 2025 finally mark the end of the IPO drought?

Published On Feb 1, 2025, 11:00 AM

In 2025, the IPO market is showing signs of activity, with over a dozen IPOs already taking place, though with mixed reactions from investors. Nasdaq president Nelson Griggs believes that the market will rebound, especially later in the year, despite challenges faced by companies attempting to go public. Some firms, like Panera Brands, are still struggling with their IPO processes, while private companies continue to thrive without going public. Griggs predicts that as market conditions improve, more companies will opt for IPOs to achieve better liquidity.
