US initial public offering activity accelerated in the first quarter of 2026, with 99 IPOs raising more than 22 billion US dollars, according to updated statistics from the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Economic and Risk Analysis.

The fundraising total marked an 86 percent increase from the same period in 2025, when 84 IPOs raised about 11.8 billion US dollars. The number of deals also rose year on year, reflecting stronger issuance conditions in the early months of 2026.

Follow-on registered offerings also expanded during the quarter, with 264 transactions raising more than 44.2 billion US dollars, compared with 250 offerings that raised around 40.4 billion US dollars in the first quarter of 2025.

The data form part of a broader set of updated market statistics published by the SEC, which also include figures on corporate bonds, commercial mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, Regulation D offerings, municipal advisors, transfer agents, security-based swap dealers and rating agencies.

The Division of Economic and Risk Analysis said the expanded dataset includes new visual tools covering asset-backed securities issuance and municipal advisor activity, alongside updated historical series for structured finance markets. The materials are presented through interactive charts and downloadable visualisations intended to track market trends and geographic distribution.

“These statistics and data visualizations are one of the many ways the SEC provides reliable information and valuable insights to the investing public,” said Dr Joshua T White, chief economist and director of DERA, adding that users are encouraged to explore the data for a deeper view of market activity.

DERA said its analytical work supports the SEC’s rulemaking and oversight functions, helping identify emerging trends across US capital markets.
