IPO Rebound: Preparation Matters

The initial public offering (IPO) market seems poised for a rebound. Preparation, however, matters as much as timing when companies go public — those that invest early in public-company readiness may be better positioned to move when the right market window opens. In this episode of our Risk in Context podcast, Marsh Risk’s William Fahey and Robyn Stevens, along with Madison Industries’ Paul Kardish, discuss: ➡️The current IPO landscape. ➡️The actions that can help a company accomplish a successful listing. ➡️The risks that an organization should consider as it starts the journey to go public. ➡️The importance of building a strong insurance program to protect the company and its senior leaders.

IPO activity has taken off in 2026; already more capital has been raised in the U.S. than in any previous year, and we’re only seven months in with manymore offerings in the pipeline. Fortunately for issuers, D&O insurance market conditions are more favorable than ever, with better pricing and broader coverage readily available. My colleague Robyn Stevens and Paul Kardish of Madison Industries discuss the current IPO market and the considerations for issuers in this podcast.
