纽交所总裁:2020年的上市热潮,明年还将持续

证券交易所巨头经历了“破纪录的IPO活跃度。

爱彼迎(Aribnb)、帕兰提尔(Palantir)、雪花(Snowflake)、DoorDash纷纷公开募股。上市在2020年风靡一时,2021年也将是首次公开募股(IPO)的活跃年份。

纽约证券交易所总裁史黛西·坎宁安在周二《财富》杂志的虚拟头脑风暴技术大会上表示,尽管新冠疫情和波动局势搅乱了公开市场,但2020年是“对IPO具有历史意义的一年。我们经历了纽交所历史上最繁忙的一年。”

坎宁安说,一贯的“市场波动和IPO活跃度之间的负相关”在2020年被打破了。证券交易所巨头经历了“破纪录的IPO活跃度。此外,不少公司增发新股,因为公司正在通过公开市场筹集资金来抵御新冠疫情带来的挑战”。

坎宁安说,出现上市热潮的部分原因在于公司意识到,在私募市场上融资“突然变得成本更高”,而上市公司在公开市场上可以“非常容易和有效”地融资。“因此,公开市场的真正价值得到了展示。”这促使许多CEO扪心自问:“他们是否总能在私募市场上获得同样的资金?因此,有些公司开始尝试尽早上市。”

事实上,即使是一场有争议且旷日持久的总统选举,也不足以阻止今年秋季上市申请的大量涌现。坎宁安表示,她看到一些公司“不再观望,准备上市,不仅是在12月, 2021年初这一态势仍将继续”。

这并不意味着所有公司都选择传统的IPO方式。有些公司也在考虑一系列其它上市选择,包括特殊目的收购公司(SPAC)和直接上市,这两种上市方式不太受市场环境的影响,而且“不需要同时进行融资”,坎宁安这样说道。

但坎宁安认为,无论是通过SPAC还是IPO方式,明年都有不错的前景。“2021年的上市门槛相当高,但到目前为止预计会很繁忙。”(财富中文网)

Aribnb. Palantir. Snowflake. DoorDash. Going public is all the rage in 2020. And now 2021 is shaping up to be an exciting year for IPOs.

Against all the odds as a pandemic and volatility roiled the public markets, 2020 was a "historic year when it comes to IPOs. We had the busiest year we’ve ever had in the history of the NYSE," New York Stock Exchange president Stacey Cunningham said at Fortune's virtual Brainstorm Tech conference on Tuesday.

The typical "inverse correlation between market volatility and the IPO activity" was broken in 2020, as the stock exchange titan has seen "record-breaking IPO activity, not just IPOs but also through follow-on offerings, as companies are using the public markets to raise money to fight off the challenges of COVID-19 that they've been facing," Cunningham said.

Part of the frenzy to go public, says Cunningham, owes to companies realizing that raising money in the private markets was "more expensive suddenly," while public companies were "very easily and efficiently" raising money in the public markets. "So really the value of the public markets was on display," she said. That's prompted lots of CEOs to ask themselves, "would they always have the same access to capital in the private markets? And so some of them started to dip their toe into going public sooner," says Cunningham.

Indeed, even a controversial and drawn-out Presidential election hasn't been enough to stem the flow of S-1 filings this fall: Cunningham says she's seeing companies "coming back off the sidelines, ready to go public, and not just in the month of December but in early 2021," Cunningham said.

That doesn't mean companies are all just opting for traditional IPOs. Firms are considering an array of options to going public, including SPACs (special purpose acquisition companies) and direct listings—methods that aren't quite as tethered to market conditions and "where there isn’t a capital raise happening at the same time," Cunningham says.

But whether via SPACs or IPOs, Cunningham sees a healthy pipeline come next year: "2021 has a pretty high bar to beat, but it’s looking busy so far."
