IPOs — IPOs priced; First-time — first-time registrations (IPO and First-time registration labels) by year of the first filing; SPACs — SPAC registrations; Withdrawn — withdrawal requests (RW); Shelves — shelf registrations (S-3, S-3ASR, F-3); Takedowns — shelf takedowns (424B5). Distinct filings. † year to date. * 2003 reads low for anything counted from a registration: offerings registered before 4 November 2002 are outside the ledger. Shelf takedowns include debt and other securities, not only shares. See the methodology.
