As of this writing, the Fed is expected to cut rates another 25 bps today…
A “Santa Rally” could result, moving markets higher through the end of the year…
And, importantly for IPO investors, we're staring down a solid stretch of initial public offerings right now: twenty-one fresh listings teed up and ready to hit the tape from this week straight through the first week of January.
It’s busy.
Now, this is the kind of lineup that gets investors leaning in, especially after a year that's already seen more than three hundred companies go public stateside, a real jump from last year's pace.
I showed you this chart on November 26.
With the recent action, this year’s IPO total has now reached 326, and by year’s end, the annual total (excluding 2020 and 2021) will end up as the best since the year 2000.
There’s an outside chance we see 400 IPOs this year when it’s all said and done.
Now, these 21 upcomers (from this week on) aren't your fly-by-night setups either. A bunch of them are backed by the heavy hitters in the underwriting world, think the big names that move mountains on Wall Street, the ones with deep pockets and sharper instincts for spotting winners.
That kind of muscle means stability, sure, but also a signal that smart money sees real legs here. And with more filings expected to drop soon, this could just be the appetizer before the main course rolls in.
When I take a closer look at the mix (names and detailed info to be shared with IPO Stream Premium members), it’s clear why the street is buzzing.
You've got one Chicago-based giant that builds hospitals' entire supply chain; gloves, beds, you name it. It’s set to debut, potentially pulling in five billion at twenty-six to thirty bucks a pop.

Elsewhere a Hong Kong chain teaching English to toddlers through apps and pop-up classrooms eyes seven million at four to five/share.
Now, in case you weren’t aware, the Hong Kong IPO market has been on fire this year and is expected to be red hot in 2026 as well. This HK education company, however, will debut here in the US…
Which, in my opinion, means more underwriter scrutiny and regulatory oversight as compared to what’s become the Wild-wild West in Asian markets.
Now, sprinkle in a dozen or so others across fintech, biotech, and consumer plays, and you've got diversity that spreads the risk while chasing growth.
Sure, tariffs and rates are wild cards, but with the Fed signaling the potential for even more cuts into 2026 and holiday spending juicing retail…
The timing feels spot-on. Early buyers could see quick pops, especially if sentiment stays frothy.
