After several years of subdued public market activity, Nasdaq President Nelson Griggs suggests that IPO momentum is gradually returning. Early 2025 has already seen a wave of new listings, with expectations for increased activity in the second half of the year. Historically, IPO markets operate in cycles, fluctuating between private and public capital flows. Recent innovations have provided private companies with greater liquidity, reducing the urgency to go public. However, Griggs highlights that while private markets offer flexibility, only public markets provide deep, sustained liquidity and broader investor participation. https://lnkd.in/egcqAchS #IPO #Nasdaq #StockMarket #Investing #CapitalMarkets #PublicMarkets #Liquidity #Finance #BusinessGrowth #MarketTrends #IRAscent Ascent Investor Relations LLC
