NYSE Euronext IPOs: $33 bn in fresh capital, leads world in 2011

NYSE Euronext led the world in IPO capital raised last year, with $33 bn coming from 104 listings. And for the fifth year in a row, it led the US in proceeds raised from the 89 IPOs it hosted. It also wrangled 16 listing transfers from NASDAQ. In Europe, NYSE picked up 44 new listings, good for around €150 mn in fresh capital for listing companies.

According to a company statement:

‘Despite economic uncertainty and volatile global markets in 2011, NYSE Euronext markets raised more IPO capital than any other venue globally,' said Scott Cutler, EVP and Co-Head of U.S. Listings and Cash Execution at NYSE Euronext. ‘Companies continue to recognize the value and inherent advantages of listing on NYSE Euronext markets, including our leading global brand, our trading platform powered by leading technology, our issuer services offerings and our unique community strategy that connects issuers with global business partners and customers.'

‘With over 120 filed transactions in our pipeline with approximately $23 billion expected to be raised, we are encouraged by the prospects for 2012,' Cutler added. ‘Young, innovative, emerging growth companies are the engines of job creation, and access to capital through IPOs is key to allowing these enterprises to grow and hire new employees. NYSE Euronext deeply values its role in supporting this capital raising process.'
