Wall Street dreamed of a resurgent IPO market under Trump—instead the window is firmly shut for Klarna, StubHub and other hopefuls

Quick Summary:

In 2021, the number of announced mergers exceeded 62,000 globally and publicly disclosed deal values reached $5.1 trillion, according to a PwC analysis.

The year has produced some bright spots, including Alphabet’s $32 billion deal for Wiz, a cybersecurity startup, as well as the $6 billion sale of the Boston Celtics.

As of Friday, the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite had dropped 20% from its record high in December, meaning the index is in bear market territory.
