Long-Short Analysis on Japan, Asia and the World

LightStream Research

LightStream conducts quantitatively rigorous and data-driven analysis with a focus on Japan and Asia.

We consistently cover the Tech, Consumer and Industrial sectors, and provide ECM and Events coverage more broadly.

We supplement traditional qualitative insights from company relationships with a robust quantitative foundation that examines as much historical data as is available.
We further refine the accuracy of our insights and calls through the use of alternative data to flesh out current trends, and through a valuation framework that emphasises non-superficial peer group selection and a proper attempt to understand the metrics and changes that have driven security valuations in the past.

<div class="content-highlight">
This is our second annual edition of the IPOs Pipeline Worldwide (Top 100 Companies)report. This year has been a superb year for the global IPO market and the pipeline of the global IPOs remains robust in 2021. Among the 100 potential IPOs, they are from 16 countries, including the US, China, India, UK, and Indonesia. We estimate that of these 100 companies, more than half should be able to complete their IPOs in 2021. 
Most of the IPOs in this list have more than $1 billion in market cap. We believe that the first half of 2021 is likely to be a more active market than the second half of the year, as the companies and the bankers attempt to capitalize on the continued strong momentum for IPOs globally. 
This report is meant to serve as a comprehensive, reference guide to help clients so that they could get a broad view of the major IPOs that could get completed next year on a world-wide basis.
