They noted that the main reason for the increase in the number of pre-IPOs will remain the key interest rate of the Bank of Russia. Analysts explained this by the fact that for growing companies, a preliminary initial offering is becoming almost the only way to raise money for development and preparation for an IPO.
Experts believe that companies from various segments will enter the pre-IPO: not only organizations from the IT and robotics industry, but also representatives of the real sector, including the food industry, will be in demand by investors.
BITL Finance recalled that in 2024 one of the largest pre-IPO offerings was the preliminary initial placement of the apartment solutions service Samolet Plus, which raised 825 million rubles. At the same time, demand for pre-IPO from more mature companies is also growing, experts add.
At the end of December, Izvestia reported that 14 companies held IPOs in Russia last year, which is a record in the last 17 years. The 2024 figures also exceeded those of 2023, when eight new companies went public.
