The U.S. IPO market re-emerged in 2025 after a prolonged period of dislocation. Select offerings delivered meaningful upside, while others struggled to find sponsorship amid evolving market structure, macro uncertainty, and shifting investor behavior. 

In this 45-minute live webinar, the IPO Prophet® team will break down what truly mattered in the 2025 IPO market—and how those dynamics are shaping the opportunity set for 2026.

This session blends institutional-level IPO market commentary with quantitative analysis drawn from IPO Prophet’s proprietary datasets, signals, and decades of experience. The goal is simple: provide clarity on where opportunity is forming, where risk remains, and how structural changes in the IPO process are impacting trading dynamics and volatility.

1. 2025 IPO Market Review: What Actually Drove Outcomes

  • Key issuance trends and deal structures that worked—and those that didn’t

  • Performance dispersion: winners, underperformers, and why the gap mattered

  • Sector behavior, deal quality, and investor selectivity

  • Lessons from 2025 that matter most for forward-looking investors

2. IPO Prophet®’s Outlook for 2026

  • How the 2025 backdrop sets the stage for the next issuance cycle

  • Specific offerings and cohorts we’re monitoring as 2026 approaches

  • Where we see improving conditions—and where caution remains warranted

  • The signals we believe will matter most in the next phase of the IPO market

3. Market Structure & Trading Dynamics

  • IPO Prophet®’s Oscillator: what it’s signaling today

  • Extended open auction periods and their impact on early trading behavior

  • Volatility, liquidity formation, and changing intraday dynamics

  • Why structural shifts—not just fundamentals—are increasingly driving outcomes
