IPO Calendar
Timeframe: November 2025 (US equity markets)
Issuers are leaning on the SEC’s Section 8(a) “automatic effectiveness” workaround during the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, allowing offerings to proceed after 20 days without an effectiveness order. Several November deals explicitly removed delaying amendments and set marketing/pricing timetables around that rule. The calendar skews toward tech-enabled infrastructure and healthcare (electric aviation, insurtech, diagnostics/biotech) with a notable cross‑border airline listing. Expect dates to remain fluid up to pricing. citeturn2view0turn19news12

All dates, ranges, and share counts are preliminary and can change at pricing.

Direct listings (e.g., WeShop; Functional Brands/MEHA) and SPAC IPOs are excluded from this calendar; their dates are often shown on aggregators but are not firm-commitment IPOs. citeturn11search0turn14view0
