IPOs this week : May 27 - 31, 19



A relatively slow week is ahead for the IPO market with no deals expected to price, although Beyond Meat's (NASDAQ:BYND) analyst quiet period expiration on May 28 is going to put underwriters Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, BAML, Jefferies and William Blair on the hook. Shares of Beyond Meat have more than tripled from their IPO pricing level to place BYND's valuation in the stratosphere.

Keep an eye on Tyson Foods (NYSE:TSN) and Nestle (OTCPK:NSRGY) as the Beyond Meat reports pile in. Both food companies plan are expected to make meat alternative announcements sometime this year, which could reset growth/valuation expectations.

TransMedics (NASDAQ:TMDX), Sciplay (NASDAQ:SCPL) So-Young (NASDAQ:SY) and Yunji (NASDAQ:YJ) also have analyst quiet period expirations on May 28.

IPO lockup expirations:

  • Yeti (NYSE:YETI), StoneCo (NASDAQ:STNE) and Pintec Technology (NASDAQ:PT) see lockups expire on April 23. Yeti is the one that might see some insider selling with shares up 119% YTD.

Expected IPO pricings: 
  • A big week is on tap for IPO pricings, led by Pinterest (PINS) which has set a pricing target of $15 to $17 to bring in around $1.2B and value the company at around $9B. Pinterest saw revenue jump 60% last year to $756M and is projected to see 45% growth this year to about $1.1B.

Analysts will start buzzing about Levi Strauss (NYSE:LEVI) on April 15. Levi's priced its IPO at $17, above the target range of $14 to $16. Shares closed at $22.22 on Friday. It doesn't appear that Levi's management is getting ahead itself after the company posted a solid Q4 and seeing the share price bounce. "We're still facing some headwinds, including anticipated door closures at traditional wholesale customers, unrest in Europe, as well as Brexit, continued uncertainty around China tariffs, and declines in U.S. retail traffic," stated CEO Chip Bergh on the earnings call.
