4 Recent IPOs Wall Street Analysts Predict Will Rally 80% or More

The low-interest-rate environment has contributed to the IPO boom over the past year. According to a Stock Analysis report, there has been a record number of 1,003 IPOs this year, representing a 138.8% increase over the same period last year. With a more than $100 billion market valuation, Rivian Automotive Inc.’s (RIVN) stock market debut is considered the world’s biggest IPO in 2021.

Nevertheless, investors remain bullish as the economy gradually recovers, and corporate earnings are expected to be strong in the fourth quarter. According to a Factset report, industry analysts expect the S&P 500 to report record-high EPS in 2022.
