Initial public offerings (IPOs) around the world raised a record $594 billion in 2021, riding the coattails of stock market rallies, news agency Reuters reported. There were, however, some disappointments with their subsequent stock performance.
Companies ranging from technology start-ups to blank-check acquisition firms flooded the market with offerings, capitalising on investors’ willingness to place speculative bets as low interest rates and the re-opening of economies thanks to Covid-19 vaccines fuelled their appetite for risk.
Among the biggest offerings in 2021 was electric-vehicle maker Rivian Automotive Inc, which raised over $12 billion in its market debut in November, making it the largest US IPO since Alibaba Group Holding Ltd in 2014.
Other major ones included Chinese online video company Kuaishou Technology, with $5.4 billion in proceeds, and Korean e-commerce giant Coupang Inc, which raised $4.6 billion.
In India, 63 corporates raised over $13.33 billion through main-board IPOs this year so far. This is nearly 4.5 times more than the $3.47 billion raised through 15 issues in 2020.
