After delaying its debut, Ivanhoe Electric (IE) completed the first major US IPO since mid-May in the week’s sole listing. Just one IPO and one SPAC submitted initial filings.
Ivanhoe Electric priced at the bottom of the range to raise $169 million at a $1.1 billion market cap, and plans to dual list on the NYSE American and the TSX. Focused on American copper mining, the exploration-stage company does not expect to generate meaningful revenue from its mining projects for the foreseeable future. Ivanhoe Electric traded down 8% on its first day and finished the week down 23%.
