US IPO Trends
Wednesday, March 31, 2010 at 10:22AM We saw 14 IPOs come to market in the month of March, and three begin trading today -- MERU, STNG, and SSNC. Below we highlight the monthly number of US IPOs since 1991, along with a chart of just the last 10 years as well.
As shown in the chart since 1991, the IPO market didn't get nearly as strong in the 2003-2007 bull market as it was during the 90s, and this isn't surprising given how crazy things got during the Internet bubble. And to say the IPO market was bad during the 2008-09 collapse is an understatement. From September 2008 to January 2009, just 4 IPOs came to market, which is unprecedented. IPOs are starting to make a comeback, albeit a slow one. Since the bull market began last March, 112 IPOs have come to market. In the first year of the 2003-2007 bull market, there were 157 IPOs. The average monthly number of IPOs since last month is just over 8. To get to a healthy level, the average should get into the 20s.

Be interested to know more about those 4 lonely IPOs and how they've done against appropriate benchmarks. Isn't the theory that IPOs during lean times do best?
It almost seems like a new 6 to 8 year trend is starting to emerge. A fast and furious ramp up in the number of deals and money then a sharp decline. I do so hope that this is not the future. But, it is good to see IPOs trending in the right direction - my concern is that many of the recent IPOs are just testing the water - companies that should have been out 18 months or more ago. And, if this is the case - I further hope that these tests are positive.
