I recently learned that the year 2000 holds the record for largest total dollar amount of and the most IPOs in a year. Surprisingly, 2014 didn’t beat 2000’s record, but 2015 is poised to beat the record number of IPOs set in 2000. Will 2015 be the record breaking year for IPOs? Many say yes!
Why? There is an onslaught of projected tech IPOs for 2015, and many of these tech companies carry hefty hefty hefty valuations that are buoying up the projected total dollar amount for the year.
In 2000, there were a total of 406 new companies joining the US equities market raising approximately $96 billion. In 2014, there were a total of 273 stocks that IPO’d and raised $85 billion in the US equity markets. This (2014) is the second biggest year in history for the US stock market.
