The market for initial public offerings (IPOs) has struggled to see the same enthusiasm it had in 2021, when 397 offerings raised $142.4 billion in proceeds. While 2026 has gotten off to a slow start — 71 IPOs have raised $35.7 billion — a string of highly anticipated offerings is signaling renewed excitement for IPOs.
First up was the SpaceX IPO, Elon Musk's space and exploration company going public in the largest offering ever and SPCX stock now trading on the Nasdaq.
