IPO Edge hosted a fireside chat from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange during the 3rd Annual Private Equity IPO Summit with Don Duffy, President and Chairman of the Board of ICR Capital. The in-person interview was joined by Editor-in-Chief John Jannarone and they discussed how the pipeline of private-equity-backed companies seeking IPOs remains near record levels despite valuation pressures and market volatility, expressing optimism for a stronger 2027 IPO market as major offerings such as Anthropic’s test investor demand and companies increasingly court individual investors.
“So we’re positively, I’d say, positively encouraged by the signs we see. Ultimately, the market’s got to cooperate,” said. Mr. Duffy.
