An IPO Ticket StubHub is once again exploring an IPO, testing investor appetite for tech listings in a market that has been slow to rebound. The ticketing platform, which has navigated significant shifts in the live entertainment industry, is in preliminary discussions with bankers about going public before the end of the year, aiming to raise over $1 billion. StubHub’s journey has been anything but conventional. Acquired for $4 billion by ViaGogo in 2019, the company faced a near-total collapse during the pandemic when live events ground to a halt. Since then, it has rebounded sharply, capitalizing on the resurgence of concerts and sporting events. While there are concerns that the post-pandemic boom in ticket sales is tapering, StubHub’s leadership maintains that demand remains strong, with gross ticket sales growing nearly 50% in the final quarter of 2024. If StubHub moves forward with its IPO, it will serve as a significant test for investor confidence in digital marketplaces and the broader live events sector. Given its resilience through industry downturns and its established position in ticket reselling, the company may be well-positioned to tap into renewed market enthusiasm. However, whether Wall Street is ready to embrace ticketing stocks amid shifting consumer spending habits remains to be seen.

Once Upon a Farm Goes Public Once Upon a Farm, the organic baby food company co-founded by Jennifer Garner, is reportedly exploring an IPO, joining the growing list of consumer-facing brands looking to tap public markets. The company, known for its no-sugar-added, organic, and refrigerated food products for children, is working with banks on a potential listing, which could come as early as this year. Founded in 2013 and expanded under the leadership of Garner and former Annie’s CEO John Foraker in 2017, Once Upon a Farm has built a reputation for high-quality, health-conscious products. The company raised $52 million in a 2022 funding round and hit $100 million in retail sales that year, signaling meaningful traction in a competitive market. If Once Upon a Farm proceeds with its IPO, it will be a significant test of investor appetite for mission-driven consumer brands. With consumers increasingly prioritizing health and transparency in food choices, the company’s positioning could resonate with both retail and institutional investors. ?If successful, this listing could help pave the way for other food and beverage startups to follow suit in an IPO market that is steadily regaining momentum.

Ryan’s Company is Going Public MNTN Inc. is taking its connected TV advertising platform to the public markets, filing for an IPO as it looks to capitalize on the rapid shift in digital advertising. Backed by Ryan Reynolds, who serves as chief creative officer, MNTN has made a name for itself by merging cutting-edge ad tech with high-impact storytelling. The company’s financials show strong revenue growth, with 2024 revenue reaching $226 million, up from $176 million the previous year, while net losses narrowed to $32.9 million from $53.3 million. Its Performance TV platform, which provides brands with targeting, measurement, and automated ad optimization, positions MNTN to ride the wave of connected TV advertising as traditional media continues to shift toward digital channels. Since acquiring Reynolds’ creative agency Maximum Effort in 2021, MNTN has differentiated itself in a crowded ad-tech space by blending data-driven performance with top-tier creative. Now, with Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, and Evercore leading the offering, the company is preparing to list on the NYSE under the symbol MNTN. This IPO adds to what’s been a solid, though measured, start for US public listings in 2024, with 58 companies raising $9.8 billion so far. With advertising spending increasingly shifting toward connected TV, MNTN’s market debut will be a key test of investor appetite for ad-tech plays in an evolving digital landscape. The question now is: Can MNTN sustain its momentum and carve out a dominant position in the future of TV advertising?
