Summary
After setting records in 2021 thanks to a post-pandemic boon of corporate success, equity capital markets activity hit the doldrums in 2022 and 2023. In particular, the IPO market dried up as an uncertain macroeconomic environment and higher interest rates kept companies on the sideline. A notable focus has been placed on new equity volumes for 2024 to see if this bellwether for the financial markets can spell a healthier outlook for broader corporate performance. Join our panel of market experts as they review equity issuance from the first half of 2024, with a deep dive into IPO performance, the deal pipeline, and industry-level activity.
