In light of the volatile markets and post-COVID uncertainty, the end of 2022 marks a year containing the lowest number of IPOs since 1990<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Axios notes that, for context, 1990 was when \u201cGermany was reunified, Tim Berners-Lee published his proposal for a \u2018World Wide Web\u2019 and Kevin McCallister first defeated the Wet Bandits.\u201d One or two things have changed in the ensuing 32 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, a mere 74 companies raised \u201cjust $8 billion\u201d through IPOs in 2022, making 2022 95% less profitable than the prior year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Axios\u2019 Business Editor, Dan Primack, a cocktail consisting of \u201cvolatility mixed with cowardice\u201d is to blame for the 32-year low, adding that \u201cplenty of non-IPO opportunities\u201d existed for investors who were savvy enough to snap up the pertinent options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Primack also posits that the immediate future looks bleak. \u201cMaybe you shouldn\u2019t [look ahead]. There\u2019s just nothing around the corner\u2026IPO experts say the real action is more likely in the back half of 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

On the whole, a variety of issues that weren\u2019t present in 2021 influenced the tenuous nature of this year\u2019s market; these issues range from inflation to increasingly tense relations with China. Michael Harris, NYSE’s Global Head of Capital Markets, posited that profit isn\u2019t the key attribute to consider when looking for investing opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think profits are one part of it, but I think it really goes back to the idea of visibility,\u201d said Harris when asked about appealing to investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI think the more that companies can demonstrate, whether that\u2019s from a cash flow perspective, from a top line or a bottom line perspective, I think it\u2019s more about being able to talk to the marketplace about visibility into their operations and the ability to actually demonstrate that over a very uncertain business cycle that their model can hold up.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Jai Das, the President, Partner, and Co-Founder of Sapphire Ventures, believes in the aforementioned uptick in investments coming next year in 2023. \u201cWe do think that in 2023, things will open up a little bit\u2026I think there\u2019s so much money sitting on the sideline that people will start making investments,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
