Total value of 2009 IPO filings, month by month

July 17th, 2009

months

Looking over the current IPO Filings page at IPO Central, I was struck by the fact that filings from last week and this totaled more than $1.1 billion. (Remember, these are just companies filing so that they can later make an IPO — they’re not going public yet.) So I glanced back over the months of this year to see what the earlier totals were.

  • January: nil.
  • February: nil.
  • March: nil.
  • April: 1 for $100 million.
  • May: 2 totaling $1.0 billion.
  • June: 6 totaling $2.02 billion. (Note the four separate $500 million offerings in that mix.)
  • July to date: 4 totaling $1.17 billion.

As I’ve said before, I’m not ready to proclaim that the IPO market has recovered — and, indeed, I think that the “recovered” market will look different from what we’ve been used to over the past 20 years.

But, hey, baby steps.
