IPO and S1 Navigator: Essential Data and Valuation Trends

October 23, 2023

IPO rebound left in the lurch

2023 brought a limited crop of IPOs to market, and the results have been mixed—ranging from remarkable (Arm, Cava) to crummy (Instacart, Birkenstock).

Our first-ever IPO and S1 Navigator report dives deep into the essential data and valuation trends to chart a course for what is ahead.

Key takeaways

  • Investors have high expectations for valuations that are keeping a lid on the supply of new entrants.
     
  • These price expectations are at odds with a fresh dip in stocks and a higher-for-longer interest rate outlook.
     
  • Revenue growth is decelerating, pushing out the timeline for startups to grow into their former valuations.
