Additional selling pressure happened on Friday with a closing print of $20.99 ending the week with a 23.5% return on the week.<\/p>\n<p>While the debut was strong, we do not believe the success of this IPO will be a litmus test for the greater IPO market by any stretch. The equity capital markets area is still under scrutiny as a whole following the debut of the two large IPOs in 2025: <strong>Venture Global LNG (VG US)\u00a0and\u00a0Sailpoint Technologies Holdings (SAIL US)\u00a0<\/strong>. As for Kestra Medical, we believe this IPO will likely trade with minimal volume in the coming days and be subject to market volatility.<\/p>\n<p>On deck for the IPO market is the highly anticipated debut of\u00a0<strong>CoreWeave Inc (CRWV)\u00a0<\/strong>which is being rumored to debut during the last week of March.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kestra Medical Technologies (KMTS US)\u00a0didn&#8217;t need a strong market backdrop in order to have a successful debut.
