The initial public offering (IPO) calendar heats up again in the week of July 13, with eight offerings scheduled to go off. Last week had no IPOs.

The second quarter was a good one for IPOs though. There were 70 IPOs in the period, and the monthly totals rose in each month. A total of 15 IPOs went off in April, 20 in May and 35 in June, the highest June total in nine years. A total of $12.7 billion in proceeds were raised from the quarter’s IPOs, more than double the $5.5 billion first-quarter total, and the median deal size was just over $100 million, well above the $82.3 million median in the first quarter.

Through the week ending July 10, IPO ETF manager Renaissance Capital reported that 105 IPOs have priced in the United States so far this year, down about 29% from a year ago. Total proceeds raised through June equaled $18.3 billion, down about 42% compared with the same period in 2014. Of the 105 IPOs that have gone off this year, 47 have come from the health care sector. Last year’s IPO total came in at $85.2 billion, the highest total in the past 10 years. Renaissance Capital does not include “best efforts” or blank check companies in its totals.
