The crazy thing about this chart isn’t that IPOs crashed in 22-23 (rates rose, market tanked, etc). It’s that we’re getting less IPOs this year than in 2012 or 2003 & the number is stagnant versus 2023. Wonder what @SECGov’s argument is for this. This is their duty station. https://t.co/7EXLFMydae

The IPO market has experienced a significant decline in recent years, with 2022-2024 seeing fewer IPOs than during the financial crisis of 2008-2009 and the post dot-com bubble period of 2001-2002. This downturn contrasts sharply with the exuberant activity seen in 2020-2021, driven by stimulus measures and a surge in SPACs. The number of IPOs in 2024 remains stagnant compared to 2023 and is even lower than in 2012 or 2003. Thomas Laffont of Coatue highlighted this trend, and industry experts are questioning the SEC's role in this downturn.
