A number of upcoming US initial offers, including $ 15 billion, were postponed by Fintech Klarana and Medtech Medtech worth $ 50 billion, as Roil Global Markets.

“Buy now, bury later,” Klarna, and the special stock -sharing surgical products company, and Tickets Stubhub, which intends to launch these plans, but these plans were suspended due to the market turmoil. All companies have secretly raised plans to include stocks in recent months.

Once the company publicly provides its subscription papers with the Securities and Exchange Committee, it puts itself equally to launch an investor offer after 15 days. Clarna was planning to start the Roadshow offer for the investor for the inclusion of $ 15 billion next week, while Medline, supported by BlackStone, Carlyle and Helman & Friedman, had planned to publicly present it earlier this week, with the aim of evaluating approximately $ 50 billion, but both lists were delayed unlimited.

People said that the Stumbhub and the Virtual Physiotherapy Company had publicly submitted their paper work last month and planned to start the retreats of investors in early April, but they are now suspended before the start of talks with potential investors. People added that companies were not committed to float within a specific time frame and the list could occur in the coming weeks.

Bloomberg late on Friday reported that the Israeli -based trading platform has also stopped plans for American public publication that submitted papers to follow last month.

The American public subscription market began to show some signs of life in recent weeks after a three -year dry talisman resulting from high interest rates, with the Coreweave Data Center operator earlier this month provides the largest technical offer since ARM’s holdings in 2023.

But the fluctuations of the market launched by the Trump tariff had launched stock markets and forced many companies that were hoping to stop the stadium. This represents a flagrant transformation since the beginning of the year, when many bankers said they expect the public subscription market to flourish under a pro -business management.

Global markets have decreased since Trump declared an experimental tariff for American trading partners this week. The losses were extended on Friday, as China announced reprisal measures and investors mitigating the possibility of a full global trade war.

S&P ended on Friday 6 percent, while the heavy NASDAQ boat in technology lost 5.8 percent.

Clarna declined to comment. Medline, Hinge Health and Stumbhub did not immediately respond to the comments.
