Recent IPOs Just Had a Historic Week

AMEX:IPO   Renaissance IPO ETF
If the last 11 months in the market has taught investors anything, it’s that rising interest rates can drag on high-multiple growth stocks. That was especially true for recent initial public offerings, but things might be changing.

This chart shows the Renaissance IPO ETF with weekly candles. It has the rate of change indicator set to one-period intervals, making it show simple 1-week changes.

Did you know that last week featured the biggest gain since IPO launched in October 2013?

In isolation, that’s an interesting bit of trivia. It might get more interesting when you consider a few more points.

First, we’re approaching a new quarter and a new half. Big institutional investors often reallocate around these times. Will they return to IPOs after a 54 percent pullback from the 52-week highs?

Second, “growth” stocks have tried to pull ahead of “value” for the first time since last July. Check out this daily chart comparing the iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF against the iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF:

Third, the shift away from growth mostly resulted from higher oil prices, higher inflation and higher interest rates. But those trends may have also stalled after energy stocks tanked and the 10-year Treasury yield failed to hold an 11-year high.

Overall, the Fed’s hiking cycle isn’t done and inflation remains a problem. But last week the market showed signs of looking past those challenges – at least for now.
