IPOs Hit 28-Year Low
from the nothing-doing dept
While people keep trying to predict when the IPO market will bounceback (and some just think it'll take a Google IPO - though, they're probably deluding themselves), it looks like things have gone from slow to dead in the current market. There were no new IPOs in the past four weeks, and the number of IPOs in the first quarter (5) was the lowest in 28 years. Of course, the expected (and now ongoing) war probably had a lot to do with that, since it's significantly increased the uncertainty risk.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
