Japan’s largest financial newspaper, Nikkei, featured IPOX® Research Associate Lukas Muehlbauer in coverage of “Trump stocks.” The piece highlighted GrabAGun Digital Holdings, which announced a $20 million share repurchase after its post-listing performance declined.

Circle Internet Group is selling 10 million shares just two months after its IPO, capitalizing on a 349% stock surge.
