Forge Global: IPO pipeline sees momentum as Cerebras Systems debuts and more firms eye listings
IPO pipeline activity accelerates

The initial public offering pipeline is gaining traction, according to Forge Global. Cerebras Systems, an artificial intelligence chipmaker, made its widely anticipated public market debut on May 14.

At the same time, companies such as Limebike and QuantinuumQC are reportedly positioning themselves for upcoming IPOs. Surging investor interest is driving activity in the equity markets, signaling renewed momentum for public offerings as firms seek to capitalize on favorable conditions.

Earlier this year, Forge Global reported record capital concentration in late-stage private markets even as public equities remained volatile, according to Q1 2026 data. The firm also noted that private market sectors such as AI, chips, aerospace, and defense have outpaced the S&P 500 so far this year, based on recent research. These trends have set the stage for renewed interest in public listings.
