German IPOs - Slow Start This Year
Germany's finanznachrichten says that the IPO season is off to a turbulent start this year, but bankers are hoping that Siemens automotive components unit VDO could be a big one, while real estate and alternative energy stocks will provide a promising pipeline. Last year 40 companies floated in Germany.
Hanse, a lux yachtmaker served up a suitably bouyant IPO last week.
Here's a summary in point form of what analysts see happening this year in Germany. We didn't see any news about venture-backed IPO plans.
- Tool company Kromi Logistik had a hard time getting its IPO off the ground but managed it in the end
- Hanse yachts did better. Its sales growth outpaces its peers by far, say analysts.
- The Siemens spinoff of VDO in an IPO could create a €3B company
- Real Estate stocks like Polis and Annigton are much anticipated
- private equity backed Gate Biodiesel (rapeseed oil supply chain) is expected to be sold or floated for about a billion euros
