Extends track record as leading U.S. exchange for total IPOs to 10 consecutive
quarters
NEW YORK and STOCKHOLM, Sweden, July 06, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nasdaq
(Nasdaq:NDAQ) announced today that it welcomed a combined 176 new listings -
including 68 initial public offerings (IPOs) - in the first half of 2016 to its
U.S. and Nordic exchanges, maintaining its position as the leading global
exchange venue. This includes DONG Energy - the largest IPO of 2016 YTD across
global exchanges - and a record number of 13 company listing transfers from
NYSE. Despite a global market under pressure from a combination of economic and
political uncertainty, companies from a diverse range of industries and
geographies successfully launched their IPOs on Nasdaq's U.S. and Nordic
exchanges, raising $3.8 billion and ?4.2 billion, respectively.
Nasdaq welcomed 126 new listings, including 35 IPOs, to its U.S. market, with a
73 percent win rate. In addition, seven of the top 10 best performing U.S. IPOs
chose Nasdaq as their listing venue. Combined proceeds raised from Nasdaq's U.S.
IPOs in 1H2016 totaled $3.8 billion. Nasdaq continues to lead the U.S. IPO
market and has had more IPOs than any other U.S. exchanges in each quarter since
Q1 2012.
"Amidst a volatile global market, the consistent performance of Nasdaq's listing
business is a confirmation of how companies have benefited from the breadth of
our listing platform and our dedicated global support," said Nelson Griggs,
Executive Vice President, Listings Services at Nasdaq. "We are committed to our
listed companies as they continue to drive innovation across all industries and
are proud to be the chosen partner in providing unmatched value beyond listing
day."
Nasdaq also welcomed 37 exchange listing transfers to its U.S. market in the
first half of 2016, including a record 13 companies from NYSE, and 24 exchange-
traded funds. Company transfers included: Willis Towers Watson, Tronc (formerly
Tribune Publishing), Scripps Networks Interactive, Opko Health and the real
estate investment trusts (REITs) and real estate operating companies managed by
RMR Group, Inc. Since 2005, over $830 billion in market value has chosen to
switch to Nasdaq.
In the Nordic region, Nasdaq welcomed 50 new listings raising ?4.2 billion in
combined total proceeds.
"Nasdaq Nordic has outperformed other European markets in 2016, both in terms of
capital raised as well as number of new listings," said Adam Kostyál, Senior
Vice President, Listing Services for EMEA at Nasdaq. "In addition, Nasdaq First
North has been the leading European growth market for five consecutive quarters,
and we are pleased to provide both Nordic and international SMEs with the
listing platform and investor visibility needed to grow their businesses."
