The IPO market is perking up after being on pause since Liberation Day.
U.S. stock indexes swooned and large companies like StubHub, Klarna and Hinge Health halted their spring IPO plans after President Trump announced sweeping tariffs on April 2. Now some are reconsidering.
Hinge Health, a venture-backed virtual physical therapy company, is considering launching its IPO roadshow pitch to investors on Monday, according to people familiar with the matter. The company was valued at more than $6 billion in a funding round in 2021.
The decision to move forward with the IPO hinges on how far the market has come over the past month. This week two insurance companies, Aspen Insurance and American Integrity Insurance, listed their stocks on Thursday. Both are trading up from their IPO prices. The S&P 500 is roughly flat since April 2 and the Nasdaq Composite is now up nearly 2%.
