Nasdaq's Adena Friedman says IPO pipeline remains healthy

NEW YORK (Reuters) -There is a healthy pipeline of U.S. initial public offerings, but investors are looking for more certainty in markets, Adena Friedman, chief executive officer at exchange operator Nasdaq, said on Monday at the FIA Boca conference in Florida. Friedman said markets are currently in a period of uncertainty as they try to navigate the changes coming out of the Trump administration. The U.S. IPO market started picking up in 2024 after recession fears and high interest rates drove it into a two-year slump.
