Global IPO filing activity for September 2026, normalized across US, EU, UK and Japanese securities-regulator filings.
In September 2026, the IPO landscape presented a notable shift, with a total of 53 new filers entering the markets. Although this marks a decrease from the previous month's tally of 77 new filers, the activity was spread across four active markets. Despite the influx of new filings, there were no listings or disclosed raises during the month, highlighting a period of relative caution among market participants.
The sector distribution showed a diverse array of interests, particularly in the technology sector, which accounted for 17 new filers. Other sectors, including consumer, transportation, and energy, contributed as well, but all reported no disclosed deal sizes. As the month closed, the absence of any listed deals or disclosed financing sums indicates a prevailing wait-and-see sentiment, as companies prepare for potential future opportunities.

Market— the listing exchange when known, otherwise the source the filing was found through (a company that filed with the SEC but hasn't been assigned an exchange yet).
Disclosed raise — the sum of offer amounts across filings that stated a deal size. 0 of 53 filings this month disclosed a size; the rest are counted under "Not disclosed" in the deal-size breakdown, not silently dropped from the total.
Listings — companies whose filing priced or listed during September 2026, independent of when they first filed.
