The IPOX® Week, May 04, 2020
May 4, 2020- After big run-up, IPOX Indexes consolidate. IPOX heavyweight 12/2019 IPO Saudi Aramco (ARAMCO AB) gains.
- IPOX 100 U.S. (ETF: FPX) in focus as 34% of portfolio holdings are set to report earnings.
- Lyra Therapeutics (LYRA US) adds to long list of recent biotech IPOs; little deal flow seen.
After big run-up, IPOX Indexes consolidate. The IPOX Indexes finished the week mixed to lower, motivated by profit taking after the big run-up amid slightly higher U.S. yields, risk (VIX US: +3.51%) and generally solid earnings. In the U.S., e.g., the IPOX 100 U.S. (ETF: FPX) fell -2.68% to -12.20% YTD, outpacing the S&P 500 (SPX) and Russell 2000 (RTY) by +13 bps. and +115 bps. on the week, respectively. Here, 55/100 firms fell with the average (median) equally-weighted stock declining by -0.18% (-1.00%), better than when compared to the applied market-cap weighted IPOX 100 U.S. (ETF: FPX). With earnings season in full swing, the distribution of individual stock returns was significant with life science equipment maker Avantor (AVTR US: +19.73%) and car vending machine operator 04/2017 IPO Carvana (CVNA US: -17.61%) leading the way. A massive 34 IPOX 100 U.S. (ETF) holdings are set to report earnings this week, including:
