That tops the high watermark for a half set during 2021's issuance mania, according to the data.\nMore deals are on the way, including a steady stream of IPOs in the coming weeks, and a potential mega-deal for Anthropic PBC as soon as October. Momentum in other forms of fundraising such as convertible debt is also expected to continue, as so-called artificial intelligence (AI) hyperscalers keep tapping investors to fund the data centres and other infrastructure supporting the tech boom.\nSpaceX's US$86.2 billion listing broke the record for the biggest IPO ever. Still, it's not the whole story.\n\"Even if you take out SpaceX's IPO, volumes are advancing rapidly,\" according to Will Connolly, a co-head of equity capital markets in the Americas at Goldman Sachs Group Inc, the lead left bank on the cover of SpaceX's IPO prospectus.\n\nConnolly sees a paradigm shift in capital markets whereby the need for equity capital to fund AI infrastructure is so far being matched by resilient stock prices and investors' strong willingness to fund the plans.\n\"There's a lot of activity across the ecosystem and across different products,\" Connolly said in an interview. \"It's really the first time you could say that since 2021.\"\nWhile AI optimism is a key factor propelling activity today, including the reason behind the year's biggest equity deal that isn't an IPO - Alphabet's US$85 billion fundraise - pessimism about the outlook for the latter months of the year could accelerate the pace of offerings.\nWall Street is keeping a wary eye on expectations for the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) next move, with interest rate cuts off the table for the year as traders brace for a potential rate hike over the coming months. The unease around the Fed, along with voters heading to elect a new congress in November, is set to define the timetable.\n\"It's likely that activity will continue at a high pace over the summer so we're preparing for a busy 3Q,\" said Arnaud Blanchard, a co-head of global equity capital markets at Morgan Stanley, which was also a lead bank on SpaceX's offering.\n\"While 4Q is typically a constructive window, we could see some volatility around the midterm elections and so second half activity is likely to be front-loaded into 3Q.\"\nStrong performance\nBlockbuster deals like SpaceX have helped drive strong performance for newly-public companies, despite the volatility in the Elon Musk-led firm, which remains well above its IPO price. \nInvestors have flocked to debuts by companies seen as benefiting from the trillions of dollars in AI spending, with the weighted-average return for newly-listed US companies excluding special-purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) nearing 16%, data compiled by Bloomberg showed. That is almost double the return for the S&P 500 Index this year.\nLarge offerings are in vogue. SpaceX's debut was just one of 11 US IPOs to raise more than US$1 billion far this year, the data showed. That number could be matched in the final six months of the year, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co's global head of private capital advisory and solutions Keith Canton.\n\"There could be another dozen jumbo IPOs - think US$1 billion-plus - in the second half,\" he said. Canton expects a pickup in activity for firms backed by financial sponsors such as private equity.\n\"Some of their companies are very high quality and very large, so they may have outgrown M&A (mergers and acquisitions) as an option, so I would expect to see some of them start to come to the public market.\"\nPrivate equity has several large candidates in the pipeline, after being relatively absent from the ranks of the biggest IPOs in recent years. Csquare Inc, a data centre company backed by Brookfield Corp, can begin formally marketing its offering in the coming days, tapping into the AI theme. \nThough certain tech stories have captivated investors, bankers say there's plenty of room for deals that offer solid value.\nAI chipmaker Cerebras Systems Inc pulled off a US$6.38 billion IPO in May, after a feverish marketing period that saw the company price its shares well above a range that had already been raised. \n\"For every Cerebras out there are four or five assets in private equity that are more traditional IPO stories,\" said John Kolz, the global head of equity capital markets at Barclays plc. \"So the discussion centres around the appropriate valuation, leverage and size judgements for a successful IPO.\"\nA successful IPO doesn't guarantee long-term returns. Cerebras' shares have surrendered their gains over the past month, and the stock is hovering around its IPO price.\nPrivate equity-backed names outside the tech universe include Roark Capital-owned Inspire Brands Inc and Jersey Mike's Subs, the sandwich chain backed by Blackstone Inc. Both have filed confidentially for IPOs and are seen among the companies that could go public in the coming months.\nMany are hoping investors' enthusiasm finally spreads beyond AI-related plays, ending a drought for buyout firms that have been unable to exit their portfolio companies and return capital to investors.\n\"In the past years, a lot of us have expected the IPO market to reopen with sponsor-driven activity, but it's been more driven by the capital needs associated with AI, or sponsor businesses tied to those thematics,\" said Eddie Molloy, a co-head of global equity capital markets at Morgan Stanley. \"It does leave some deals in a holding pattern.\"\nJitters affecting AI-related stocks last week, stoked in part by news that OpenAI's IPO plans have shifted into 2027, could derail plans if they continue to spread. \nFor now, with South Korean memory chipmaker SK Hynix Inc's planned US$29 billion US listing set to jump-start the new quarter, investors will likely have no shortage of opportunities to keep doubling down.\nLisa Clyde, a co-head of global capital markets at $Bank of America Corp(BAC-N)$, had one word for the onslaught of IPOs: \"Epic.\"\n\"This will be the year everybody talks about for the foreseeable future.\"\nUploaded by Tham Yek Lee","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
