Will September breathe much needed life to the IPO market?

The IPO (initial public offering) market has been in a downturn for much of the last year amid rising interest rates and the war in Ukraine. Data shows that could be about to change

A recent wave of stock sales by companies suggests there will be a wave of IPOs in September, putting an end to a weak market for debuts that has lasted almost two years.

Since the end of April, publicly traded companies and their investors have sold stock worth more than $28 billion through follow-on and secondary sales, according to data provider LSEG Deals Intelligence.

That compares with $7.3 billion over the corresponding period a year ago.

Bankers say this spike bodes well for the IPO market, since both new listings and secondary stock sales rely on strong investor demand.

Since the start of 2022, the IPO market has been in a downturn as investors fear U.S. interest rate hikes following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

But volatility has now subsided with investors predicting the Federal Reserve will end its recent spate of rate hikes later this year.

Nasdaq drops 1.84% amid turbulent week; investors pivot to cyclical and value sectors from high-growth tech.

U.S. equity markets wrapped up a turbulent week with mixed results. The Nasdaq Composite fell 1.84%, marking its worst week for large-cap technology stocks since November, while the S&P 500 remained largely unchanged. Investors are weighing concerns about artificial intelligence and potential overinvestment in high-growth areas.

Meanwhile, smaller-cap and value-oriented stocks continued to add to their year-to-date gains. Market participants rotated into cyclical sectors that had lagged, reflecting a shift in investor sentiment and appetite for risk outside the traditional tech heavyweights.

Analysts say this rotation highlights the broader market’s evolving dynamics, as growth concerns collide with opportunities in underappreciated areas. Stay tuned for further developments as the market digests these trends.

Wall Street plummets as tech stocks and Bitcoin fall, raising concerns about job market and economic stability.

Wall Street took a sharp hit Thursday as technology stocks and Bitcoin plunged, reigniting worries over the job market and global economic stability. Kyle Rodda from Capital.com breaks down how Alphabet and Qualcomm’s earnings may signal broader tech weakness.

Bitcoin’s recent drop also rattled crypto markets, with Coinbase shares falling sharply. Rodda explains how much of the decline is driven by market fundamentals versus shifting investor sentiment, and how rising AI expenditures are affecting investor confidence in tech.

The surge in unemployment claims, coupled with falling bond yields, is prompting concern over overall market stability.
