In the aftermath of Election day, we are seeing “positive” signs toward syndicate resuming activity.
For starters, the volatility index (VIX) is down nearly 30% and currently below 27 (was north of 40 at the end of last week). With that being said, the pipeline is relatively thin at the moment and needs to be refreshed with new filings. The current make-up of the IPO pipeline includes mainly healthcare-related and foreign companies. It is our opinion that the following companies are the most “likely” to launch ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. Some of the list below “could” indeed launch at any time beginning today:
- Compass Therapeutics (CMPX)
- Sotera Health Company (SHC)
- Maravai Life Sciences (MRVI)
- Olema Pharmaceuticals (OLMA)
- Southeastern Grocers Inc (SEGR)
- Neogames S.A. (NGMS)
- Yatsen Holding Limited (YSG)
- Ozon Holdings plc (TBD)
