The Peel Hunt Healthcare team got together with other Healthcare & Life Science Analysts across the City, to write a joint letter to the new UK Government as it looks to deliver on ambitions for growth in the wider economy and for the UK to be a science superpower. The UK has got lots to be proud of – not least the NHS and our enviable Life Science sector – but there are some structural issues that need tackling. We propose six working themes which include: being bold, improving capital flows to life sciences, embracing innovation in the NHS, going further with R&D tax relief, retaining talent here in the UK and pushing entrepreneurialism harder.

The prospects of the UK IPO market are improving but are not expected to fully recover until 2025, Peel Hunt analysts have said. The premier of three notable IPOs in Raspberry Pi, AOTI and Rosebank over the past two months have all set the tone for a route towards a “broader re-opening” next year, said Peel Hunt in a research note, but warned that they only expected ” small number of further UK IPOs in 2024″. The research house’s ‘IPO Speedometer’ ticked up in August, from 27 to 29 when rating the IPO market’s health on a scale of 0-60. Possible IPO targets in the pipeline included Anglo American De Beers, Thought Machine, and Starling Bank. ✍️ Elliot Gulliver-Needham Read the full story here 👇 https://lnkd.in/ee3U5KKA

This month, the speedometer has accelerated modestly to 29mph, up from 27mph in June. The speedometer remains in second gear, classifying the UK IPO market as “selectively open” as it edges closer to being more widely open. The key drivers of the model this month were: the successful re-opening of the UK IPO market with positive aftermarket performance, continued mixed success of the European IPO recovery, a constructive broader UK ECM backdrop, improving UK investor sentiment and improving overall fundamentals for the UK.

This morning we released the third edition of our Peel Hunt IPO Speedometer, which measures the health of the UK IPO market with a score from 0 to 60. Dan Webster, Charles Hall and Brian Hanratty discussed the findings. Global markets dropped and volatility rose in early August due to worries about growth and central banks. We continue to maintain that the UK IPO market is ‘selectively open’ for either best-in-class issuers or certain niche thematics that resonate. We expect a small number of further UK IPOs in 2024 but do not expect a broader re-opening until 2025. Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/eQHCm4gs #IPOSpeedometer #PeelHunt #IPOs
