London\u2019s IPO pipeline is running dry<\/strong>, with just GBP 8.8 bn raised in IPOs and follow-ons in 1H 2025 \u2014 the weakest inflation-adjusted tally in three decades, the Financial Times<\/a> reports. Only three IPOs have landed on the main market this year, pulling in just USD 208 mn, compared to USD 16.7 bn raised by this point in 2021, Reuters<\/a> reports. <\/p>\n

(Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links <\/strong>to our background as well as external sources.)<\/p>\n

REMEMBER- <\/strong>Despite post-Brexit reforms, years of equity outflows since 2016 have left London trailing rivals. The UK ranked just 20th globally for IPO proceeds in 2024<\/a>, far behind the UAE (5th), Saudi Arabia (7th), and Oman (14th). The Middle East alone accounted for over half of global IPO volumes, while London raised only USD 1 bn, down 9% y-o-y. The city also lost 45 firms to delistings and takeovers. <\/p>\n

IPO action is also shifting to continental Europe.<\/strong> Frankfurt and Z\u00fcrich are preparing for a September wave, with expected listings from Germany\u2019s Stada, Ottobock, Deutsche B\u00f6rse\u2019s ISS Stoxx unit, and Switzerland\u2019s Swiss Marketplace Group. \u201cThese listing locations have the potential to become trailblazers for Europe,\u201d Markus Meier, Bank of America\u2019s head of equity capital markets in Germany, told Reuters.<\/p>\n

With IPO mandates scarce, city firms are leaning on other business lines. <\/strong>Panmure Liberum now generates more than half of its revenue from advisory work, up from just a quarter in 2021. Peel Hunt has also seen research revenues rise as investment banking fees fell. <\/p>\n

Others are arranging so-called \u201cprivate IPOs\u201d for private equity clients. <\/strong>These are structured secondary placements that mimic floats, but never reach the open market. Secondary sell-downs in London reached GBP 14.6 bn last year \u2014 more than double 2023 levels.<\/p>\n

While stopgap transactions keep bankers busy, they tend to be shorter, <\/strong>lower-fee mandates that rarely match the scale of a full IPO \u2014 both a blessing and a drawback.<\/strong> \u201cIPOs are a lot of work and have a lot more banks and big syndicates [to split fees between]\u2026 but if you do a big equity placing it\u2019s actually less work and pretty profitable for the time you put in,\u201d one senior banker told the FT. IPOs are also valued for the longer-term client relationships they help secure.<\/p>\n
