Investor enthusiasm for artificial intelligence could be the catalyst for a reinvigorated IPO market. According to EY, more companies may be motivated to go public in the coming months due to the increasing interest in AI. This trend has the potential to further boost the current revival of the IPO market.

For companies planning an IPO, AI can act as both a time-saver and strategic-enabler. FloQast Managing Director, EMEA Adam Zoucha explains how to put this into practice. https://ow.ly/SKiV50RbS1L #byaccountantsforaccountants #IPO #AI

After a few months on this pet project (which was built initially for personal use), and some test use by a handful of people along with their positive feedback, I decided it's time for this to go public (which happened yesterday). The Bespoke Investor is a simple, no clutter, no bs, easy to use, and quite useful analytics platform for anyone who is really into investing (support only for the greek stock exchange for the moment) and wants to have a solid view on the market before making a move as well as after she/he has made a move. To begin with, it has an excel-like table with various financial indexes, indicators, etc, which are used for analysis - comparison between the listed companies. This table is fully customizable as one can short it based on some element, change the order of the columns, filter with prices, etc. The users can log their movements (transactions) and track their positions. These movements as well as their portfolio can be easily extracted to a csv file. Prices are from public APIs and are updated every day automatically. It's still in testing mode I would say but for the public now, although what I would call version 1 (which does right the absolute basics) is here. Here are some printscreens to give you an idea of the interface. The Bespoke Investor has been deployed using Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud platform. 30+ people have already registered during the first day for which I will quote "not great not terrible".

Introducing BCG’s M&A Sentiment Index - a monthly pulse check on dealmakers' willingness to engage in mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures over roughly the next six months. Harnessing Generative AI, this Index offers Leaders & CEOs in corporations, private equity firms, and investment banks a quantified and statistically reliable indication of where the M&A market is heading. The index’s interactive features allow users to view sentiment globally, as well as across regions and sectors. How it's built? BCG uses a proprietary methodology to derive the M&A Sentiment Index value, applying decades of M&A research and expertise together with insights from our data set of more than 900,000 deals. To determine the value, we combine two factors: 1 - Fundamental Drivers: Capturing sentiment derived from underlying drivers of M&A activity, such as business confidence, valuation levels, and interest rates. We identified more than 15 potential drivers of aggregate M&A activity by considering our empirical studies and conducting an extensive review of the academic literature, especially on the “M&A waves” theory. 2 - Executive and Investor Sentiment: Capturing the actual sentiment expressed by decision makers. Powered by state-of-the-art generative AI capabilities to extract executive and investor sentiment toward M&A from over 10,000 corporate communications, such as earnings call transcripts. Step into the future of M&A and see what the index score is telling us today:

Data + expertise is the future of risk management decisions
