Ipreo Reviews The Characteristics Of IPO Market In Summer 2016 - First Hawaiian (NASDAQ:FHB)

According to the market intelligence firm, Ipreo, the months of June through August generated $4.0 billion in proceeds from 23 deals year-to-date. Ipreo added that this figure is "well below" the $11.3 billion in proceeds that were generated from 54 deals in Summer 2015 and $18.7 billion from the 70 deals generated in Summer 2014.

However, Ipreo noted that Summer 2016's figure was larger than Summer 2012 as the 22 deals combined for just $3.1 billion in proceeds.

Patheon NV PTHN ($625.0 million) was the largest healthcare-related IPO since March of 2015, and First Hawaiian Inc FHB ($557.8 million), which was also the largest financial IPO since June 2015.

The largest one-day increase was Twilio Inc TWLO, as shares surged nearly 92 percent. In fact, the IPO was also the first of its kind in 2016 to price above its filing range and is now higher by more than 250 percent from its offering price of $15.00.
