The US IPO market entered the final stretch of the year with a few small listings, a wave of SPACs, and three notable deal launches on the calendar for the week ahead. With markets recovering from a recent sell-off in growth stocks, we expect several more launches from the pipeline to tee up listings for mid-December, including a potential mega IPO from medical supplies giant Medline. Several lock-ups are expiring in the week ahead, including four from companies that raised at least $50 million.
