The IPO market may see a resurgence in 2025, with Wall Street banks gearing up for increased activity as private equity firms look to the equities market to divest high-profile assets. Companies like Medline and Genesys, backed by private equity, have already filed for IPOs, signaling the potential for a busy year ahead. 

Analysts anticipate a surge in IPO announcements during the year’s first half, driven by a robust stock market, anticipated regulatory rollbacks, and tax cuts under the Trump administration. In 2024, IPO performance was promising, with most major listings ending the year above their debut prices. 

Experts, including Eddie Molloy of Morgan Stanley, expect significant activity in private equity-backed IPOs, particularly in tech, where demand for investment opportunities is strong. 

Finsum: Companies such as Chime and Klarna in the FinTech space are also poised to capitalize on this revived market environment.
