IPO

Last week there were only three initial public offerings (IPOs) on the calendar. None of the three actually made it out the door, though. One, KineMed, has been postponed and may be withdrawn. This week we have two holdovers from last week plus nine additions to the IPO hopefuls’ list.

To repeat last week’s summary, the year to date has been a massive success for IPOs. According to Renaissance Capital, 148 IPOs have priced in the United States so far this year, up nearly 61% from a year ago. Total proceeds raised come to $31.5 billion, up more than 52% from 2013. In the month of June, IPO proceeds totaled $8 billion, tied with April for the highest monthly total so far this year. The 2013 IPO total came in at $54.9 billion, the highest total in the past 10years. So far in 2014 IPOs have put $31.5 billion into the coffers of new publicly traded companies.

The largest IPO on this week’s calendar is TerraForm Power Inc., another spin-off from SunEdison Inc. (NYSE: SUNE). TerraForm is being created to own and operate clean energy power generation assets it will acquire from SunEdison and other companies as a so-called yieldco. TerraForm’s IPO follows by about a month the IPO of Abengoa Yield PLC (NASDAQ: ABY), which priced above its range and closed its opening day of trading up about 28%.

The company plans to offer 20.1 million shares in an expected price range of $19 to $21. At the mid-point of the range proceeds will total $400.1 million and TerraForm’s market value would be around $2 billion. SunEdison will retain nearly 95% of the voting power in the company, which is expected to price shares on Thursday and begin trading Friday on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol TERP.
