The Securities and Exchange Commission published updated market statistics on September 23, 2026, showing increases in initial public offerings and follow-on registered offerings.
The SEC’s Division of Economic and Risk Analysis published the statistics and data visualizations, covering key segments of the U.S. capital markets.
In the first half of 2026, there were 208 IPOs raising over $137 billion, compared with 180 IPOs raising over $27 billion in the first half of 2025.
This represents an approximately 16% increase in the number of IPOs and nearly a 400% increase in proceeds raised.
There were 557 follow-on registered offerings raising over $111 billion in the first half of 2026, compared with 505 offerings raising nearly $84 billion in the first half of 2025.
This represents an approximately 10% increase in the number of offerings and a 33% increase in proceeds raised.
“DERA’s latest data highlight the continued strengthening of U.S. capital formation under Chairman Atkins,” said Dr. Joshua T. White, Chief Economist and Director of the SEC’s Division of Economic and Risk Analysis.
