Catenaa, Wednesday, January 28, 2026- A report citing analysts identified nine technology companies likely to pursue initial public offerings in 2026 as markets recover: SpaceX, Strava, Verkada, Crusoe Energy, OpenAI, Anthropic, Databricks, Stripe, and Revolut.
SpaceX remains the standout, with Starlink growth and reusable rocket milestones under Elon Musk potentially fueling a multibillion-dollar public listing.
Strava, the fitness platform with 150 million users, targets monetization through premium subscriptions and expanded advertising revenue.
Enterprise security company Verkada is scaling AI-powered camera deployments for Fortune 500 clients, while Crusoe Energy leverages flared natural gas to power AI data centers, aligning with green computing trends amid growing GPU demand.
Other potential IPO candidates include AI infrastructure providers and software-as-a-service innovators, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Databricks, Stripe, and Revolut, which have seen substantial private valuations.
Analysts cite favorable conditions driven by lower interest rates and abundant venture capital. Successful public debuts will depend on earnings performance, regulatory approvals, and market timing. SpaceX may pursue a partial listing after Starship validation, and Strava’s IPO hinges on revenue growth.
Market observers estimate that tech IPOs could collectively raise more than $200 billion in 2026 if interest rate cuts continue.
Recent debuts from Klarna and CoreWeave suggest a revival of the IPO market following the 2022–2025 slowdown.
