Higher valuations and subsiding volatility are laying the groundwork for a significant increase in initial public offerings in Europe this year, according to PitchBook.
The market research firm said that more than 370 European venture capital-backed firms have a high probability of undertaking first-time share sales in 2025, an increase of about 24% since April last year. A recovery in valuations and improved clarity on issues such as interest rates and geopolitics will aid activity, PitchBook said.
