By Niket Nishant and Manya Saini

Dec 18 (Reuters) - Medical supply ⁠giant Medline's shares rose 41% ⁠above their ‍offer price in their hotly anticipated New York debut on Wednesday, rounding out a strong year for U.S. IPOs with volumes hitting their highest since 2021.

New listings made a strong comeback in 2025 after nearly three years of sluggish activity, buoyed by ‍rate-cut hopes and a more supportive dealmaking backdrop.

Eye-popping first-day performances by heavyweights such as Circle and Figma also lifted ​sentiment.

According to data from Dealogic, IPOs in the U.S. have raised nearly $75.3 billion so far this year, the biggest haul since 2021.

Here's how an ETF tracking major newly public stocks has ​fared against the benchmark S&P 500 over the past year:
