Best IPOs
On the other hand, the list of best IPOs is headed by Jin Medical, a Cayman Islands holding company that owns Chinese manufacturers of wheelchairs. The company emerged as the highest-performing IPO in 2023, despite facing delisting from the Nasdaq for failing to meet a listing rule requiring the firm to have at least 300 public holders.
While four of the top 10 IPOs were in the healthcare sector, three were in financial services, two in technology, one in food and beverage, and the other in the energy sector.
The 154 IPOs on the US stock market in 2023 represented a 15% decrease compared to the 181 IPOs in 2022, and an 85% decline from the all-time record number of 1,035 IPOs in 2021.
