Detailed Findings

Dealmaking in 2025

Will the IPO market return?

There is much more conviction that we will start to see companies coming to the public markets in 2025, with 64% expecting IPO levels to uptick, versus 43% last year. Private Equity is the most bullish, perhaps looking at a build-up of exits across their portfolios, at 69%. Corporates themselves are similarly looking at a return of the public markets, with 64% expecting more IPO activity next year. It will be one to watch.
