Deloitte: Approximately 70 IPOs are expected in the A-share market in the first half of the year, raising nearly 70 billion yuan.

Deloitte China’s Capital Markets Services Department has released its latest report, which shows that the issuance pace of new stock listings in Mainland China has accelerated in the second quarter of 2026. The report says that, with the reforms to the Sci-Tech Innovation Board, the introduction of the fourth set of listing standards for the Growth Enterprise Market, and further increases in the Sci-Tech Innovation Board’s valuations, more listings from hard-tech companies and some landmark new stocks are expected.

Data shows that, as of the end of the first half of 2026, around 70 new stocks are expected to be listed on the A-share market, raising CNY 69.3 billion. Compared with the first half of 2025—when 51 new stocks raised CNY 37.3 billion—the number of new stocks is up 37%, while the fundraising amount increases by about 85%. The Shanghai Stock Exchange will become the exchange with the highest new stock fundraising amount, with 19 IPOs raising CNY 30.5 billion; the Shenzhen Stock Exchange will raise CNY 27.5 billion through 16 new stock listings; and it is expected that the Beijing Stock Exchange will maintain the record for the most new stocks (35 companies), with fundraising of CNY 11.3 billion.
