Goldman Sachs: U.S. IPO Market Rebounds to Strongest Year Since 2021 With ~50 Listings, Up 100% YoY

According to Goldman Sachs, the U.S. IPO market is experiencing its strongest rebound in recent years as of June 26, 2026, though activity remains far below the frenzied speculation of the dot-com bubble. Approximately 50 companies have gone public in the U.S. this year, double the figure from the same period in 2025; by transaction value, the mid-year issuance has reached roughly $120 billion, matching the full-year 2021 record. Goldman Sachs chief U.S. equity strategist Ben Snider noted the recovery reflects normal market normalization driven by large company listings and robust AI-sector fundraising demand. While elevated valuations and AI dominance present bubble warnings, Snider emphasized a critical metric—IPO count—remains well below historical peaks: the U.S. averages about 100 IPOs annually over the past 25 years, versus 250 in 2021 and nearly 400 during the 1999 dot-com peak. "Despite high deal volumes and accelerating activity, the sentiment today is far more subdued than those periods," Snider said.
