It was a light week in terms of quantity as just nine deals came to market. This was after the previous week saw just ten secondary offerings. This week, however, saw one of the largest secondary offerings in recent years. Hilton Worldwide Holdings (HLT) priced 60.0mm shares at $73.00 to raise $4.38bn. The deal opened at $77.39 for a gain of 6.0% at first trade. HLT traded as high as $80.35 before closing the session at $79.61 for a gain of 9.1%. IPO Boutique rated the deal a BUY.

Two other offerings that performed well out of the gates were Triumph Bancorp (TBK) and Novavax Inc (NVAX) which has gains of 2.4% and 6.7% at first trade, respectively. It should be noted that the one-day marketed deal from Morgan Stanley, Exela Technologies (XELA), severely underperformed. The deal priced at $5.00 vs. last trade of $5.06 and opened at $4.70 for a loss of 6.0% at first trade.

There are currently no secondary offerings on the schedule for next week.
