IPO Spotlight: 7/23/24

Ready to place a bet on a young, ambitious colt? Three such horses are lined up and ready to bolt out of the gate this week. Clinical-stage biopharma Actuate Therapeutics (ACTU) focuses on developing new therapeutics for cancer diseases. OneStream (OS) is an AI-enabled financial/operational platform for enterprise organizations. Lineage (LCTX) is a REIT (real estate investment trust) that operates a global network of 482 temperature-controlled warehouses in critical locations.

The IPO market is gaining momentum in 2024, with over $20 billion raised in the year's first half. This revival is attributed to moderating inflation and interest rates. IPOs are exciting but chancy. If you’re not risk-averse, consider these companies and prepare to hop aboard!
