US IPO Market Slows as SEC Backlog and Tech Slump Bite

US IPO Market Slows as SEC Backlog and Tech Slump Bite
The US initial public offering market has cooled sharply as regulatory delays at the Securities and Exchange Commission and a tech-sector pull-back weigh on new listings. Firms that launched recently are seeing muted gains, and many listings originally slated for late-2025 are now being deferred into 2026 due to holiday season inertia and elevated valuation concerns. 
 According to market participants, hundreds of registration statements remain unresolved, eroding investor sentiment and spotlighting the timing risk for companies hoping to tap public markets this year.
