Smaller Banks Predict IPO Rebound for the Rest of 2025
Some smaller banks are feeling good about companies selling stock to the public (IPOs) for the rest of the year.
Evercore made more money in this area, while Stifel made a bit less.
They think things will get better because the market is less jumpy and the government might make things easier.
Big banks like Morgan Stanley and Raymond James agree that the market is improving after a tough April.
They believe more companies will start selling stock soon.
Smaller investment banks are forecasting a rebound in equity capital markets for the rest of the year.
Evercore's underwriting fees saw a 4% year-over-year increase to $32.2 million.
Stifel's equity-capital raising revenues fell 3.7% to $46.2 million.
Executives at Evercore and Stifel are optimistic due to factors like reduced volatility and potential regulatory changes.
