So far in 2021, proceeds from U.S. IPOs have reached $89 billion, a 232% jump from last year's level, according to data from Renaissance Capital.
For the year-to-date period, the market is already at a record level in terms of funds raised, and it is expected to surpass the full-year all-time high of $97 billion raised in 2000 amid the dotcom boom, according to Renaissance.
"The valuations companies can get in the IPO market are high, historically," said Matthew Kennedy, senior IPO market strategist at Renaissance Capital. "We attribute much of it to a decades-long buildup of unicorns and VC funding." Companies from stay-at-home tech to health care innovators to e-commerce players are taking advantage of a booming stock market that keeps refreshing its record on the back of optimism toward the economic reopening. The IPO boom also coincides with the rising force of retail investors who are eager to own a piece of their favorite companies.
A total of 250 IPOs have priced in 2021, up 191% from the same period last year and already beating 2020's total number of IPOs at 218, according to Renaissance Capital.
