Europe's Busy IPO Week: Ottobock & Verisure Set to Raise €3.7B+
Europe is set for a busy week in initial public offerings (IPOs). Two more companies are expected to start trading, following three successful IPOs in Q3 2025 that raised over $500 million each. The quality and scale of these companies are impressing industry experts.
Ottobock SE is among the companies set to debut next week. Its offering could raise up to €702 million, making it one of the largest in recent years. It will start trading in Frankfurt on October 9, 2025, with a market capitalization of €4.0 to €4.2 billion and an offering volume of around €766 to €808 million.
Verisure Plc's IPO is expected to be Europe's largest in three years. It aims to raise over €3 billion and will begin trading on Nasdaq Stockholm on October 8, 2025. This follows a strong Q3 2025, where nearly $3 billion was raised from IPOs, a 60% increase from the previous year.
Experts like Martin Thorneycroft of Morgan Stanley and Luca Erpici of Jefferies Financial Group Inc. have praised the improved quality of companies coming to the market. Jerome Renard of Bank of America Corp. expects this momentum to continue based on recent performance.
The upcoming IPOs of Ottobock and Verisure are expected to raise significant funds, contributing to the growth seen in Q3 2025. Despite this, funds raised in 2025 are unlikely to reach average levels of the previous decade. European IPOs are becoming more competitive with the US stock market, with some companies now choosing to list in Europe.
