Tikehau’s EuroGroup IPO a sign of ‘binary’ market

EuroGroup’s IPO helped Tikehau make more than 3x its initial investment in less than two and a half years, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

The recent IPOs of private equity-backed EuroGroup Laminations and IONOS do not herald a reopening of the European IPO market, said several sources, with central banks still fighting to tackle inflation.

IPO volumes plunged in the second half of last year as central banks hiked interest rates to combat rampant price rises.
