The pipeline features scheduled filings and expected launches through Q4, with regulatory pathways and underwriter calendars aligned for completion ahead of 2027. While seasonal slowdowns around holidays remain possible, current momentum and visible deal flow indicate high likelihood of further IPOs resolving the market in coming months.
