With more IPO listings on horizon, NYSE Euronext for the fifth consecutive year led the US IPO market, with over $19 billion in proceeds compared with $8 billion on Nasdaq.
- Power rules IPO market - 1% of NSE and 6% of MCX on the block - MCX to work on illiquid and agri-contracts in its 7th year - NYSE Euronext Q3 net income plunges 28% to $125 mn - "No point killing the golden goose by hiking realty prices" - 'The nature of the rally is not clear'
As of November 30, NYSE Euronext’s European and US markets rank second globally with almost $21 billion raised through IPOs in 2009, just below the near $23 billion in IPO proceeds raised on Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEx), the release said.
NYSE Euronext US markets have not only raised more in dollar proceeds, but, for the first time, also are scheduled to attract a larger number of IPO transactions than any other US market by year-end.
An additional 8 IPOs are scheduled to go public on the NYSE in the next two weeks, to raise an estimated additional $2.7-billion in proceeds, as compared with only one or two more IPOs scheduled on Nasdaq to raise up to an estimated $180 million.
"More than any other exchange group, in 2009 NYSE Euronext’s US markets were able to capture the renewed momentum in IPO listings," NYSE Euronext America Head of Listings Scott Cutler said.
