2026 IPO fundraising ranks second-highest on record, Homrich & Berg says
Bitget2026/10/29 16:17- IPO proceeds reached over $161 billion across 246 companies in 2026, already the second-highest annual total, an October 29 analysis found.
- Anthropic’s anticipated $100 billion IPO before Thanksgiving could bring proceeds close to the 2021 record of $296 billion.
- US equity funds attracted nearly $210 billion in inflows, suggesting strong demand could absorb Anthropic’s offering.
- Only 11 traditional US IPOs have been postponed this year, with rate uncertainty and market volatility the main constraints.
- Anthropic’s listing could pressure technology stocks through competitive disruption, rather than a broad market selloff driven by excess share supply.
