The healthcare market looks nearly ready for the next wave of IPOs as the next round of healthcare companies look to be on the horizon.
At least two healthcare companies are considering public-market debuts in the near future.
Jon Swope, a managing director in Barclays' healthtech division, told Business Insider he expects a pickup in healthcare IPOs in 2025 after a three-year drought.
Large take-privates and declines in share prices are seen as challenging backdrop, however, the companies that went public or were already public are down by about 80%.
The next set of IPOs is saif to focus more on growth and profitability.
Three categories that are investible in healthtech and digital healthcare: data & technology, consumer-centric models, and value-based care.
Companies with clear, simple stories while also being able to navigate the layers of the healthcare ecosystem in executing on their business model are most likely to succeed.
Start-ups going public the right way by executing on the business and growing it in advance of an IPO will set the stage for an attractive IPO market.
From 2019 through 2021, nearly 20 companies went public through IPOs or SPACs in healthtech.
M&A is set to pick up particularly in an easing financing environment and macro backdrop where bid-ask spreads are narrowing.
