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.

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.
