2025 was a better year for IPOs than 2024. More than 200 companies raised about $33.6 billion, up from 150 companies and roughly $30 billion the year before. Although the tech theme dominated, thanks to the wider AI trade, names from the healthcare, industrials, and energy sectors also made a splash. “More of the same” seems to be the theme for 2026, as the AI buildout gets stronger and stronger.
However, 2026 has not yet seen a blockbuster tech IPO. In fact, among the names that have made their debut on the bourses, the biggest one has been that of the biotech company, Aktis Oncology (AKTS). Following on its heels, another fusion company from the world of fintech is also looking to go public this week.
