I'm pleased to announce a new quarter of data for the IPO Pulse Index, Nasdaq's six-month leading indicator for the IPO market. With data ending in Q2, the Nasdaq IPO Pulse Index rose to a nearly 3-year high, signaling a positive outlook for the IPO markets. In fact, we saw more operating company IPOs in Q2 than we have seen since Q4, 2021. According to the new IPO Pulse Index, the six quantitative factors that make up the index showed broad-based gains in June, including strong valuations and returns, and positive investor sentiment. The Fed Funds Rate also remains flat. Combined, these factors suggest that positive IPO momentum will continue through the rest of the year.
