After experiencing the slowest first half of the year for European IPOs in over a decade, traders are hopeful that several large deals later this year could reignite the market. According to data compiled by institutions, IPOs in the region have raised around $5.52 billion by 2025, a 60% decrease from the previous year. The turmoil caused by President Trump's tariffs in the United States led to a frozen market for several weeks, although some companies later began issuing stocks, there were also companies that postponed or canceled their initial public offerings. Following this, the resurgence of European IPOs lagged behind Asia and North America. However, with new and delayed deals being included in the plans for the second half of the year, advisors are hopeful that European IPOs can make a comeback at a time when increased defense spending and fiscal stimulus prospects reignite investor interest in the region. Martin Sonicroft, Co-Head of Global Equity Capital Markets at Morgan Stanley, stated, "There are several European IPOs planned for September or October, and they are truly milestone events." Thoughts on this?
