The initial public offering (IPO) calendar for this week lists nine companies with plans to enter the public market. Another that did not complete its IPO might join the parade as well.

Through the week ending July 31, IPO ETF manager Renaissance Capital reported that 121 IPOs have priced in the United States so far this year, down about 33% from a year ago. Total proceeds raised through last week equaled $20.9 billion, down about 47% compared with the same period in 2014. Of the 121 IPOs that have gone off this year, 53 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.

Last week’s largest one-day pop was posted by NanKwest (NASDAQ: NK), which gained 39%. The only other positive pop for the week was posted by Aqua Metals Inc. (NASDAQ: AQMS) with a jump of 7%. Intec Pharma, which currently trades on the Tel Aviv exchange, did not complete its IPO last week and may try again in the coming week.

Two IPOs on last week’s calendar, Poseidon Containers Holdings and NEP Group, have been postponed.

Of the nine firms lined up to price and begin trading in the coming week, we have four health care companies, a snack food maker, a solar energy company, a real estate investment trust (REIT), an energy company and a fitness center operator.
