Companies going public have raised just over $18 billion so far this year, according to KPMG. That is down from about $23 billion for all of 2022.
It might seem as if initial public offerings are back in style, with Arm Holdings and Instacart making their recent debuts. But the reality is there hasn’t been much activity—and for good reason.
That pushes up rates on all kinds of debt companies can raise—and makes it even more difficult for them to raise equity financing. Companies need to prove they have a strong business model that can achieve growth expectations. Unless a business is strong from a fundamental perspective, investors just don’t have much appetite for risk right now.
Instacart’s problem is the market has several reasons to be concerned revenue growth could decelerate. Sales grew about 30% year over year for the first half of this year, putting the company on pace for about $2.95 billion for the full year. That is down from 39% for all of 2022.
