NYSE Euronext (NYX) led the global market for listing Initial
Public Offerings (IPOs) in the first half of 2011 with $25.40
billion in total capital raised on its European and U.S. markets,
more than any exchange group in the world. During the most recent
quarter, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) led the U.S. IPO
market, with 35 IPOs raising $10.63 billion, or 73% of total
proceeds raised from IPOs in the U.S. Furthermore, this added to
NYSE’s recent gains in listing of technology and VC-backed IPOs as
well as private equity funds and enterprises from Argentina,
Canada, China, France, Greece, Korea and Netherlands, underscoring
the NYSE as the leading listing venue for global IPOs.
“We have seen IPOs coming from every sector, every region of the
globe, and all types and sizes of companies including high-growth,
technology and VC-backed enterprises,” said Scott Cutler, Co-Head
of U.S. Listings and Cash Execution, NYSE Euronext. “It’s a healthy
pipeline despite the continuing economic uncertainty. The issuer
community is attracted to our global brand, network and technology
platform, and looks to us as a true partner in driving value. In
the months ahead, we expect to see new listings from quite a
broad-based representation of sectors.”
The number of IPOs backed by venture capital and private equity
funds listed on the NYSE has significantly increased, including
LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD), Freescale Semiconductor (NYSE: FSL),
Bankrate (NYSE: RATE), and Vanguard Health Systems (NYSE: VHS). On
May 18, LinkedIn IPO became the biggest Internet IPO since Google
Inc.'s debut in 2004.
The NYSE has welcomed 5 transfers from Nasdaq with total market
capitalization of $4.01 billion thus far in 2011, and lost none. In
addition, SuccessFactors Inc. announced it will transfer its
listing from Nasdaq to the NYSE and cross-list on the European
markets of NYSE Euronext. This follows the active trend for
transfers, with 40 companies transferred to the NYSE from Nasdaq
since 2007.
NYSE Captures Increasing Market Share in Listing
Technology-Based Companies
NYSE has steadily captured share in attracting
technology-based IPOs with its commitment to partner with
growth companies. NYSE has listed 17 out of 31, or 55% of the tech
IPOs YTD, up from 44% in 2010. LinkedIn, Active Network, Fusion-io
and Pandora’s offering came amid a recent fervor for high-profile
tech IPOs. Shares of Pandora, the online radio service provider,
opened at $20 each, up from an offering price of $16, raising $235
million as the company met the latest wave of interest in
Internet-related businesses.
Chinese IPO Momentum Builds on Last Year’s Strong
Activity
With a record of 22 Chinese IPOs last year, the NYSE maintains
its leading position in attracting Chinese listings this year with
5 Chinese IPOs raising $742.86 million in the second quarter.
Almost half of the IPOs from China YTD come from the TMT sector
(Technology, Media and Telecommunications). Qihoo 360 Technology
(NYSE: QIHU), which offers a safe web browser and other Internet
security products in China, soared 134% in its trading debut on
Mar.29, making it the third best first day gain for a U.S. listed
IPO in the last 10 years. Renren Inc (NYSE: RENN), one of the
biggest social networking companies in China, became the first
social networking service (SNS) company to get listed on the U.S.
market on May 4.
Increased Listings of SMEs on NYSE Euronext European
Market
During the first 6 months of 2011, NYSE Euronext’s European
market continued to welcome small and medium enterprises (SME)
listings. Out of 29 new listings, 24 are SMEs from different
countries of origin and business sectors, raising €58 million.
“Primary activity is slowly taking off again in Europe, amid
difficult market conditions, and investors are still cautious with
their investments. Nevertheless, 29 exciting newcomers were
introduced to our European market during the first 6 months of
2011, including a good deal flow of SMEs and high profile direct
listings, boosting market capitalization by over €19 billion,” said
Ronald Kent, Group Executive Vice President and Head of
International Listings at NYSE Euronext. “Although uncertainty
persists, we see a positive outlook for the rest of the year with
many other companies interested in the access to capital and
international profile that joining our European market can
provide.”
Complementing SMEs, the European market welcomed high-profile
listings including two cross-listings, global companies Coca-Cola
Enterprises and Hexcel Corporation, as well as two large spin-offs,
Aperam (ex- ArcelorMittal, €2.2 bn market cap at listing) and TNT
(ex- PostNL, €4.8 bn market cap at listing) and the new listing of
Areva representing a market capitalization of €11.5 billion.
