DFIN's IPO & Public Listing Report - Q3 2026 Edition

"Q3 demonstrated that the IPO window remained open, but not uniformly. Market volatility and issuer-specific considerations tempered activity relative to expectations and contributed to several postponements and withdrawals, reinforcing the importance of issuer preparedness, timing, and execution for companies considering a public offering." 

Anne Bailey Colkitt, SVP, Head of Sales Global Capital Markets, DFIN

DFIN extends its congratulations to the 22 companies that went public through a traditional IPO, the 34 new SPACs, as well as the 13 companies that achieved public trading status post-SPAC merger, and the 7 companies that entered the market through a direct listing.
