📉 The IPO season Wall Street expected to be historic is starting to lose momentum.
Market volatility, higher interest rates, and growing concerns about the safety of artificial intelligence are cooling investors’ appetite for new stock offerings.
Smart ring maker Oura postponed its IPO, which could have raised up to US$ 2.2 billion, while companies like SB Energy, NScale, and Holtec also revised their plans. OpenAI pushed back its possible public listing to 2027, while Anthropic is now considering November for its debut.
The most important signal is the performance of the companies that have already reached the Stock Exchange in 2026: by the end of June, they were up an average of 24% over their IPO prices. Now, that average gain has fallen to less than 1%.
Still, a potential Anthropic offering could reignite the market. If the deal happens in 2026, the amount raised by U.S. IPOs could surpass the 2021 record.
🔎 The IPO market is still open — but investors are much more selective.
