IPO roadblocks create 'pent-up supply' of companies ready to go public

The IPO market has been extremely slow since the early part of 2022. The lack of activity has created some "pent-up supply" of high-quality companies that are ready to go public, according to Seth Rubin, head of US equity capital markets for Stifel Financial Corp. Rubin recently spoke with The Pipeline about the strategies some companies are taking to execute an IPO, the outlook for the market as a whole and the future of SPAC issuance.
