After April’s initial surge, microcap IPOs slowed virtually to a halt last week and larger IPOs dominated the calendar for the first time since March.
This week the microcap IPO pace picks up again with two business services companies and a tech offering.
Intangibles like technology and AI are expected to continue to fuel more microcap IPOs through the end of Q2 into the summer.
