“We have a deal on the road at the moment, we have another deal going next week,” Martin said in an interview with Bloomberg TV on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos on Wednesday. “We really see it towards the back end of Q1 into Q2,” with many firms targeting public market debuts then.
