Nasdaq has most US IPOs in Q3
The Nasdaq Stock Exchange had 76 new listings in the third quarter of 2014, including 41 initial public offerings (IPOs), to bring its total IPO count to 140 for 2014.
This represents more IPOs than any other US exchange at approximately 62% of all US. IPOs. It also represents an 8% increase in listings compared to the same quarter last year. The combined proceeds raised by Nasdaq's IPOs year-to-date is approximately $16.7bn.
"This continues to be a record year for NASDAQ listings," said Nelson Griggs, senior vice president of listings at Nasdaq OMX.
"We've reached several important milestones so far, including surpassing both the 100 IPO mark and our 2013 IPO total of 126 IPOs. Our ability to attract a diverse range of growth sectors was evident as we welcomed 41 IPOs, which is a testament to the resiliency and success of our capital markets."
Nasdaq won over 50% of technology IPOs and 90% of healthcare IPOs.
