Behind the scenes activity in the US IPO market is reaching a fever pitch, according to dealmakers, as companies lured by stock markets near record highs prepare to go public. The industry has been busy lining up underwriting mandates from companies that were forced to delay listing plans due to the US government shutdown. There’s also hope that some of the world’s biggest private tech companies might go public and make 2026 a breakout year after three years of gradual growth in activity. Bloomberg News Equities Reporter Bailey Lipschultz joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss. He speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec. (Source: Bloomberg)
