THE IPO WINDOW OPENS

摘要

First-half strength in the U.S. equity market has laid the groundwork for 2013 to be potentially the most active year for initial public offerings (IPOs) since the financial crisis struck in 2008-2009. And the energy sector is getting its share of the action, recently accounting for 16% of IPO filings and 22% of follow-on or secondary equity issuance through mid-August, according to data from Dealogic and J.P. Morgan.
