Shownotes Transcript

Stephen Barnett, our Director of Corporate Finance goes solo this week to cover three major topics in focus:

Oddity IPO - The Israeli company ('where beauty meets Israeli technology') debuted on the Nasdaq. Lead book-running managers Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and Allen & Co. priced the IPO at $35, raising $424mn and achieving a first-day IPO 'pop' of over $35%!

Cava IPO - The US fast food restaurant chain achieves a whopping 100% first-day pop on its opening day. Did underwriters J.P. Morgan, Citi, and Jefferies get the offer price wrong?

CVC raises the largest buyout fund in history. The €26bn fund, which topped Blackstone's $26bn buyout fund, raised in 2019, suggests that investor demand for Private Equity is still high, despite clear headwinds.
