Share sales by Coinbase Global Inc. officials fell sharply in 2022 along with the crypto exchange’s stock price. Co-founder and Chief Executive Brian Armstrong has pocketed $4 million since November from selling shares, according to an analysis of regulatory filings.
Goldman Sachs is one of the banks leading the planned IPO of J&J’s consumer-health business. The U.S. initial public offering market’s acute slowdown is creating space for deals commonly known on Wall Street as corporate carve-outs. Traditional initial public offerings in the U.S. last year raised the smallest amount in at least two decades, according to Dealogic. Three of the biggest deals of the year were carve-outs—companies spun out from parents, using a standard IPO sale rather than the stock distribution that often occurs in what is known as a spinoff.
Hundreds of companies that went public when the market for initial public offerings was booming have suffered such sharp reversals that they now face a stark reality: Their shares may never recover. More than one in four of the nearly 600 companies that went public via a traditional IPO in 2020 or 2021—including oat-milk maker Oatly Group AB and online lender loanDepot Inc.—traded at less than $2 a share as of Friday’s market close, according to Dealogic data. Many companies that went public in the surge of mergers involving SPACs, or special-purpose acquisition companies, also are faring poorly.
U.S. stock losses deepened Thursday, after central bank officials on both sides of the Atlantic signaled they have more work to do to tame inflation and a batch of fresh data heightened recession fears. The major U.S. stock indexes started the week higher, then fell Wednesday when the Federal Reserve raised rates by half a percentage point. What spooked investors wasn’t the rate increase, which was widely expected, but that the Fed raised its estimates of how high rates may ultimately have to go.
The end of the era of easy money is forcing companies that need cash to get creative. Dozens of companies have recently raised money through so-called structured private funding rounds, and bankers and lawyers say there are many more in the works.

Shares of Mobileye Global rose 27% out of the gate in their trading debut, in one of the highest-profile and largest initial public offerings of the year. Intel automated car-driving unit initially traded at $26.71, above its IPO price of $21 a share. That gives Mobileye a valuation of more than $21 billion. The stock opened on the Nasdaq stock market a little before midday Wednesday, trading under the symbol MBLY. More than 3.5 million shares changed hands in the opening trade.

Shares of Mobileye Global rose 38% in their trading debut, providing a rare bright spot for an IPO market that is having its worst year in memory. Intel automated car-driving unit closed at $28.97, above its initial public offering price of $21 a share, giving Mobileye a valuation of roughly $23 billion. The stock opened on the Nasdaq Stock Market a little before midday Wednesday, trading under the symbol MBLY.
Mobileye is set to start trading Wednesday on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the symbol MBLY. Intel self-driving car unit Mobileye Global priced its initial public offering at $21 a share, a dollar above the top of its targeted range, according to people close to the deal. Mobileye raised $861 million by selling 41 million shares, valuing the company at roughly $17 billion, the people said. That is more than the $15.3 billion Intel paid for the Mobileye in 2017 but a far cry from the $50 billion or more that the chip giant originally set its sights on when it unveiled plans for the listing late last year.

U.S. stock indexes rose on Tuesday, rallying for a second day as a combination of better-than-expected earnings and an easing of turmoil in U.K. markets lifted investors’ confidence. The S&P 500 climbed 42.03 points, or 1.1%, to 3719.98 while the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 337.98 points, or 1.1%, to 30523.80 and the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite moved ahead 96.60 points, or 0.9%, to 10772.40. The moves come a day after the major indexes soared.
Intel is eyeing a significantly lower valuation than previously expected in the initial public offering of its Mobileye Global Inc. self-driving car unit, according to people familiar with the matter, in the latest sign of the beleaguered state of the new-issue market. Mobileye, which was originally expected to land a roughly $50 billion valuation, is now set to target one of under $20 billion and sell a smaller number of shares than originally planned, the people said. By selling fewer shares at a lower price, the company and its advisers are hoping to drum up interest that will push up the shares after they start trading, some of the people said.
A volatile stock market is one of the reasons IPOs are having the slowest year in more than a decade. Recently public companies are among the worst performers in this year’s stock-market rout, contributing to a deep freeze in the IPO market that shows few signs of thawing. Roughly 87% of companies that went public in the U.S. last year are trading below their offering prices, down more than 49% on average as of Friday’s close, according to Dealogic. By rough comparison, the S&P 500 is down 23% this year, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has fallen 31%.
Swiftly Systems Inc. raised $100 million in its latest funding round, boosting the valuation of the grocery-tech company to more than $1 billion, according to people familiar with the matter. The capital infusion, from BRV Capital Management and others, is the second funding round this year for Swiftly and values it at $1.1 billion to $1.2 billion, one of the people said. In March, Swiftly said it raised $100 million in a Series B funding round led by Wormhole Capital.
Instacart Inc. doesn’t plan to raise much capital in its initial public offering and instead plans to have most of the listing come from the sale of employees’ shares, said people familiar with its thinking. In meetings with prospective investors in recent weeks, Instacart executives said they didn’t plan to issue many new shares in their IPO, the people said. The sale of mostly employee shares would allow Instacart’s staff, including some of its earliest hires, to at last cash out of some of the shares they have been accumulating.
