IPO market shows 'cautious optimism' amid market uncertainty
Initial public offering (IPO) activity is picking up despite tariff concerns, with public debuts from names like Circle Internet Group (CRCL) and CoreWeave (CRWV). Greg Martin, Rainmaker Securities managing director, joins Asking for a Trend to discuss why companies are rushing to go public now. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Asking for a Trend here. Well, the IPO market has seen a layer of anxiety and an elevated uncertainty from Trump's tariffs with companies such as StubHub and Klarna, showing, showing pause in going public. However, even as tariff worries linger, the IPO market is seeing a glimmer of light, the number of new listings, as of June 5th, the highest since 2021, it's according to Renaissance Capital, but what lies ahead for the public market, Rainmaker Securities Managing Director, that would be Greg Martin joins us now to discuss. Greg, great to see you, as always. So, the IPO market, Greg, signs of life there, we were talking off camera, it's got Circle, coreweave keeps making headlines for the right reasons, what do you see ahead? How bullish are you, Greg, and what, what, what variables does that depend on? Well, Josh, thank you for having me. Good to see you again. I mean, clearly, we've had a resurgence. Remember, we had, we thought the IPO market was going to reopen at the beginning of April. We had, as you point out, we had the filings of Klarna, we had StubHub. Um, they had to pull because of the Trump tariffs. And now, all of a sudden, we have a little bit of IPO craziness again. As you point out, Circle's on fire, coreweave is ripping. Um, we, we saw Amado health go out. We're going to see chime this week. Um, I expect we're going to see a, a, a whole raft of new filings. And I think people are excited, for sure. Clearly, these IPOs are performing extremely well in the aftermarket, but there's also an air of caution because there's a concern that the window could close. Obviously, there's some uncertainty around tariffs. There's still some economic uncertainty. So I think there's a little bit of a window opening, and I expect we're going to see a lot of people trying to get through that window in this period because there is a concern that it will close. Um, and so I think we're going to see, uh, a raft of filings. We're seeing it as, as you point out, with the Renaissance report, but it's still a little bit uncertain as to how long that window's going to be open. So I, I take a, a cautious optimism. A cautious optimism, the raft, let me ask you this, is it a good time, Greg, for anyone and everyone to go public? Or is it more specifically, it's a good time to go public if you've got an AI/crypto story to tell? Well, clearly, if you have a good story to tell, I think it's, it's a good time to go public. Um, we're seeing a lot of crypto companies. Obviously, Bitcoin has traded up substantially. So we see Circle, we see eToro, we see Gemini most likely going public soon. Um, definitely anything AI. Coreweave's a great example. They're an AI infrastructure company. The, the company's up 4X since its IPO in, in late February. So I think there are good stories out there. But we're also seeing a lot of fintech companies go public. I expect to see Klarna, I expect to see chime. They're, they're not necessarily AI plays. So I think the truth is, there's a lot of great companies that have been private for a long time that have been waiting for an opening. So I think we're going to see those too. And then, of course, we saw digital health companies go public. We saw Hinge Health, Amado Health go public. So I don't think it's just AI and crypto. I think it's just a window that's opened, and the market has shown a good receptivity to new issuances, and that's a good sign for new IPOs.

BASIN BITES: Straight out of the wood oven
ODESSA, Texas (KMID/KPEJ)—In this week's Basin Bites, we visited Greggor's Pizza, a food truck in Odessa that specializes in wood-oven cooking. Greggor's offers multiple items that are all made in-house and fresh each day, from sauces to dough and even dessert items such as cannolis. When it comes to the pizzas, Greg and his wife Angela specialize in varieties that range from toppings such as brisket, jalapenos, sausage, and the classic pepperoni. Greggor's Pizza, originally known as The Pizza Stone, first started in the Pecos/Fort Stockton area while owner Greg Cook was working for his corporate job. However, when that moved to Odessa, he moved the business here. His wife Angela would homeschool the kids, but once they got older and began attending public school, she brought her prior food service experience to the table. 'We talked about the whole time opening our own little business for years,' says Angela. 'I've always dreamed about opening my own little place with him and and of course, with his experience with cooking and over the fire and whatnot. I think that's what correlates the wood-fired pizza and the wood-fired things that we do. That's what kind of impressed us about this.' You can find Greggor's Pizza on Facebook, where they post their location for the week. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
