First Trust ROI Podcast: IPOX® Dr. Josef Schuster Discusses Post-IPO Performance Trends and New Listings Market

First Trust ROI Podcast featured Dr. Josef Schuster of IPOX® in a long-form discussion on renewed IPO market activity, upcoming major listings, and the performance trends that often follow new public offerings. The episode examined how stronger equity markets, investor risk appetite, company fundamentals, and capital-market conditions are contributing to increased interest in IPOs and other new listings.

Dr. Schuster provided IPOX® analysis on the current IPO environment, noting that IPO activity is being supported by broad equity-market strength, stronger earnings trends among recent new listings, and growing investor demand for access to newly public companies. He also discussed IPOX® research on post-IPO performance, emphasizing that newly listed companies often show a wide divergence over time, with a smaller group of strong performers offsetting a larger number of underperformers.

The conversation also highlighted IPOX®’s process-driven approach to post-IPO investing, including the role of diversification in addressing stock-specific risk across newly listed companies. Dr. Schuster discussed the performance dynamics of IPOs, spin-offs, and SPACs, as well as international IPO activity in Europe, Hong Kong, Japan, and other markets.
