The question now is whether this trend will continue through time. There are a host of companies eying an early debut in 2021 to take advantage of favorable conditions. But, as with all request debuts, timing will be everything, with several assiduity judges decreasingly advising of a bubble.
Then are the biggest technology IPOs of the time so far.
