Tech IPOs are roaring after 'years of Prohibition' — it may be too good
The Bullish IPO this week took on added significance, perhaps because of the company name. When shares of the Peter Thiel-backed cryptocurrency exchange more than doubled out of the gate on Wednesday before finishing the day up 84%, it was the latest sign that the tech IPO bulls are back in business. In July, design software vendor Figma more than tripled in its New York Stock Exchange debut, and a month earlier shares of crypto firm Circle soared 168% in their first day on the Big Board. Wall Street has been waiting a long time for this. Three years ago, steep inflation and soaring interest effectively closed the market for public offerings. Tech stocks tanked and private capital dried up, forcing cash-burning startups to turn their attention away from growth and toward efficiency and profitability. The roadblock appeared to be loosening earlier this year, when companies like StubHub and Klarna filed their prospectuses, but then President Donald Trump roiled the markets in April with his plans for sweeping tariffs. Roadshows were put on indefinite hold. The president's tariff agenda has since stabilized a bit, and investor money is pouring into tech, pushing the Nasdaq to record levels, up more than 40% from this year's low in April. Optimism is growing that the hefty backlog of high-valued startups will continue to clear as CEOs and venture capitalists gain confidence that the public markets will welcome their top-tier companies. Ahead of Figma's debut, NYSE president Lynn Martin told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" that immense demand for that offering could "open the floodgates" for the rest of the market. And earlier this week, Nasdaq CEO Adena Friedman told "Fast Money" that there's a "very healthy list" of companies looking to IPO in the second half of this year, ahead of the holiday season. "I've been meeting a lot of CEOs, getting them prepared to think about what they want in the public markets and where they're going," Friedman said. There are more than two-dozen venture-backed U.S. tech companies valued at $10 billion or more, according to CB Insights. StubHub has updated its prospectus, suggesting an offering is coming soon. "The IPO window is open," said Rick Heitzmann, a partner at venture firm FirstMark, in an interview with CNBC's "Closing Bell" this week. "You've seen across industry, broad-based support for IPOs, and therefore, we're advising companies we're investing in to get ready and go public." Another big topic among VCs and bankers is the regulatory environment. The Biden administration took heat from startup investors for cracking down on big acquisitions, mostly attributable to Lina Khan's perceived heavy hand at the Federal Trade Commission, while also failing to ease restrictions that they say make it less appealing for companies to go public than to stay private. Paul Atkins, the new head of the SEC, said in July he wants to "make IPOs great again," by removing some of the impediments around the complexity of disclosures and litigation risk. He hasn't offered many specific recommendations. Friedman told CNBC that the first conversation she had with Atkins after he took the job was about making it easier and more attractive for companies to go public. "The conversation was constructive along many fronts, looking at disclosure requirements, the proxy process, other things that really make it harder for companies to be public and navigate the public markets," Friedman said. "He's as interested as we are, so hopefully we'll turn that into great action." In addition to the big gains notched by Bullish, Figma and Circle, the public markets welcomed online banking provider Chime with a 37% gain last month and trading app eToro with a 29% pop in May. The health-tech market has seen two IPOs: Hinge Health and Omada Health. But it was the roaring debuts of Circle and Figma that sparked chatter of a new bull market for IPOs. Figma jumped 250% on IPO day after pricing shares a dollar ahead of an updated range. Circle's value more than doubled after the stablecoin issuer also priced above the expected range. That sort of price action reignited a debate ahead of the last IPO boom in 2020 and 2021, when venture capitalist Bill Gurley made the case that big first-day pops suggest intentionally mispriced offerings that hurt the company and hand easy money to new investors. Gurley has advocated for direct listings, where companies list shares at a price that effectively matches demand. As Figma was hitting the market, Gurley was back at it, referring to the big gains as an "expected & fully intentional" outcome benefitting clients of major investment banks "They bought it at $33 last night and can sell it today for over $90," he wrote. In a follow-up post, he said, "I would have loved to see DLs replace IPOs — it just makes sense to match supply/demand. But Wall Street may just be too addicted to the massive customer give-aways." Lise Buyer, founder of IPO advisory firm Class V Group, wrote on LinkedIn that the company gets to make the call on where it prices the stock and that plenty of thought gets put into the process. Also, in the IPO, companies are selling only a small percentage of outstanding shares — in Figma's case roughly 7% — so if they deliver on results, "there will very likely be plenty of future opportunities to sell more shares at higher prices." That's already happening. Circle said this week that it's offering another 10 million shares in a secondary offering. And on Friday's, CNBC's Leslie Picker reported that bankers for CoreWeave, which is up 150% since its March IPO, orchestrated some block trades this week. But Buyer warns that tech markets have a history of overheating. While there's always a difference between what institutions are willing to pay in an IPO and what exuberant retail investors will pay, it's currently "a gap like we haven't really seen since 1999, 2000," Buyer told CNBC, adding "and, of course, we know how that ended." Compared to the dot-com bubble, businesses that are going public now have sizable revenue and actual fundamentals, but that doesn't mean the IPO pops are sustainable, she said. "It's almost like we had several years of Prohibition," Buyer said, referring to a period a century ago when alcohol was banned in the U.S. "Folks, in some cases, are drinking to excess in the IPO market."
