The global market for initial public offerings struggled last year, with IPOs down roughly 29 percent from 2010, according to Renaissance Capital, which tracks IPO filings in the United States. At the same time, the 261 domestic IPO filings were the most the U.S. has seen in a single year since 2000.
Internet companies in particular made a significant comeback last year, with the 24 that sold shares-including Groupon, LinkedIn, and Zynga-representing the largest number in a decade, Renaissance reports. The first quarter of 2012 has seen buzz building ahead of Facebook’s looming IPO and trading in shares of review site Yelp start in early March.
