Bankers hope for IPO revival in 2025 as high-profile listings stack up

The article from Reuters discusses the anticipation within the financial sector for a revival of initial public offerings (IPOs) in 2025, following a subdued period in 2023 due to economic uncertainties and high interest rates. Investment bankers are hopeful that a more favorable economic environment, including lower inflation and potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, will encourage companies to go public. High-profile companies like Reddit, Rubrik, and Skims are reportedly preparing for IPOs, with Reddit aiming for a listing in the first quarter of 2024. The article highlights that while 2023 saw a significant drop in IPO activity, with only $26 billion raised globally compared to $268 billion in 2021, there's an expectation of a robust recovery. This optimism is fueled by a backlog of companies ready to list, a more stable market, and the need for private equity firms to exit investments. However, the success of this revival largely depends on market conditions, investor sentiment, and the performance of early 2024 IPOs.
