Finally the 2016 initial public offering (IPO) market showed some signs of life last week. Three large, revenue-producing companies made it out the door last week, and two priced above their expected mid-points.

MGM Growth Properties LLC (NYSE: MGP) price 50 million shares at $21, the high-end of its expected range to raise $1.05 billion. Shares popped 4.8% on the first day of trading and ended the week up 7.7%.

American Renal Associates Holdings Inc. (NYSE: ARA) priced 7.5 million shares at $2, just above the expected mid-point of $21.50, raising $165 million. Shares jumped 20.5% on the first day of trading and closed the week up 2.3%.

SecureWorks Corp. (NASDAQ: SCWX) downsized its IPO from 9 million to 8 million shares and priced the shares at $14, well below the expected range of $15.50 to $17.50. The Dell spinoff raised $112 million and closed flat on the first day of trading.

Through the week ending April 22nd, IPO ETF manager Renaissance Capital reported that 13 IPOs have priced in the U.S. so far this year, down about 71% from a year ago. Total proceeds raised through last week equaled $2.3 billion, down 68% compared with the same period in 2015. Of the 13 IPOs that have gone off this year, 10 have come from the healthcare sector. Last year’s IPO total came in at $30 billion on 170 offerings. Renaissance Capital does not include “best efforts” or blank-check companies in its totals.
