State of the Markets: Third Quarter 2019Finally, The IPOs We’ve Been Waiting For!

The innovation economy has been nothing if not resilient. Consider some of the recent hurdles: trade turmoil and tariffs, fears of slowing global growth, increased regulatory scrutiny and an inverted yield curve. Together, these factors tested investor confidence over the first six months of 2019. Nevertheless, entrepreneurs keep innovating, and markets continue to climb higher.

Perhaps the best illustration has been the arrival of so many highly anticipated IPOs. After a brief U.S. federal government shutdown early in the year, March ushered in a flurry of high-profile unicorn IPOs. Enterprise businesses had success, while consumer-focused IPOs experienced a more lukewarm reception.

This year’s IPOs are expected to provide significant liquidity for employees and venture investors. It will be interesting to see how this release of capital and talent gets recycled back into the innovation economy.

While we acknowledge the uncertainties and risks, it remains an exciting time for tech. We still have a healthy backlog of unicorn companies looking to go public this year. As long as public markets remain buoyant, we expect venture to continue to thrive.

History has shown that tech companies prefer to go public when markets are accommodative. This year’s positive performance has encouraged a flurry of IPOs. Since the markets’ rebound from December lows, tech has been the best performing sector of the S&P 500.

Inverted Yield Curve Puts Investors on Edge


Despite historically low interest rates, recent Fed rate hikes and falling long-term yields have inverted the yield curve. Not all inversions precede recessions, but this still might portend to an economic slowdown—with tech’s relative performance mixed.

Having a focus—whether it be geographical, sector specific or other—is one way to compete if writing bigger checks isn’t an option. Initial signs are positive as firms are investing more in emerging areas and female-led companies are attracting a greater share of capital.

After a Dry Start, Tech IPOs SwellThis year was expected to be the year of liquidity as long-anticipated exits of many unicorns came to fruition, releasing billions in trapped value. The U.S. federal government shutdown held back IPO activity until the end of February. Since then, exit activity has picked up, and IPOs have grown in size, with notable divergences in performance.
