Tech IPO Calendar 2026: Every Major Listing So Far and What's Still Coming

2026 is already the biggest IPO year in a generation. SpaceX trades at $1.93 trillion. SK Hynix just raised $26.5 billion in the largest foreign US IPO ever. Cerebras, Firefly Aerospace, Fervo Energy, and Standard Nuclear have all cleared. Anthropic, OpenAI, Syntiant, Shein, and Panera have filed or won approval. And the pipeline behind them — Anduril, Discord, Kraken, Plaid, Canva, Shield AI, Perplexity, Cohere, Revolut, Quantinuum, and Saronic — is deeper than anything since 2021.

199 IPOs have priced through mid-July, raising over $130 billion — up 164% from the same period in 2025. I track IPO activity closely because it's the clearest signal of where venture-backed capital gets marked to reality. We keep a running view of pricing, lockups, and post-IPO performance on our tech IPO tracker, and 2026 has been the busiest year for that dashboard since it launched.

The 2026 Tech IPO Calendar: What's Priced, What's Filed, and What's Still Coming

The 2026 tech IPO calendar has already produced landmark listings across AI, semiconductors, space, energy, and nuclear. SpaceX's $75B raise in June was the largest IPO ever. SK Hynix's $26.5B Nasdaq listing on July 10 shattered Alibaba's record for the largest foreign US IPO. Cerebras popped 89% intraday on debut, and Firefly Aerospace priced its space-launch IPO at a $5.58B valuation the day before. Fervo Energy broke the renewable energy IPO record. And S-1 filings keep coming — Standard Nuclear (July 7), Syntiant (July 6), Anthropic (June 1), OpenAI (June 8), and now Shein, which cleared Hong Kong regulatory approval on July 10 targeting a $40-50B valuation. Overseas, China's Unitree priced its own STAR Market IPO in August at a ~$6.2B valuation, the first public pure-play humanoid robotics stock anywhere.

That's a sharp contrast from 2023 and 2024, when the tech IPO window was mostly shut. 2026 has flipped the script: nearly every major listing this year has closed its first trading day in the green, and the pipeline behind them — Anduril ($61B), Discord, Kraken, Plaid, Canva, Shield AI, Perplexity, Cohere, Revolut, Quantinuum, and Saronic — is deeper than any year since 2021.

Tech IPO Calendar 2026: What's Filed and What's Still Waiting

Filed and targeting H2 2026: Anthropic is the most advanced name, targeting an October Nasdaq listing at ~$965B after filing June 1. OpenAI filed confidentially June 8 but may slip to 2027. Standard Nuclear (NYSE: STDN, ~$3.55B, TRISO fuel) and Syntiant (Nasdaq: SYTN, edge AI chips) both filed S-1s in early July and could price within weeks. Shein cleared Chinese regulatory approval July 10 for a Hong Kong listing targeting $40-50B by September or October, and Panera Brands — JAB Holding's roll-up of Panera Bread, Einstein Bros. Bagels, Caribou Coffee, and Au Bon Pain — has reportedly filed confidentially.

Filed but stalled: Discord filed confidentially in January but no pricing timeline has surfaced — secondary markets price it at ~$8.5B, down 43% from its $15B peak. Kraken confirmed its confidential filing in April but paused on weak crypto markets and is now sliding toward 2027.

Pre-IPO but highly anticipated: Anduril ($61B) will "definitely" go public per Palmer Luckey, but CEO Schimpf says it's "bad to IPO in a hype cycle." Plaid ($8B) is exploring an IPO per Bloomberg's July 1 report. Canva ($42B) has taken all pre-IPO steps but its COO now cites 2027. On the defense side, Shield AI ($12.7B, autonomous drones) and Saronic ($9.25B, autonomous Navy ships) are both rumored 12-24 months out. In AI, Perplexity ($20B+) has no S-1 and its CEO targets 2027-2028, while Cohere (~$7B) is listed as a "probable" 2026 candidate. Revolut ($150-200B on secondary markets) and Quantinuum ($10B+, Honeywell's quantum computing subsidiary) round out the watch list, both targeting a 2026-2028 window.

Explicitly delayed: Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi called 2026 "a terrible year to go public" — not because the market is bad, but because the queue is too crowded. At $134B private and profitable, Databricks has the luxury of waiting. Stripe ($159B) continues its decade-long "about to IPO" dance.

How to Read the 2026 Tech IPO Calendar as an Investor

The pattern from 2026 is clear: scarcity and sector tailwinds beat everything. SpaceX (+8%), Cerebras (+89% intraday pop), SK Hynix (+13%), and Fervo Energy (+30%) all priced into categories where there's no direct public comparable — reusable rockets, wafer-scale AI chips, HBM memory dominance, enhanced geothermal. Klarna and Chime priced into crowded fintech categories and have both traded down since.

That pattern matters for the pipeline ahead. Anthropic has the same scarcity profile as SpaceX and Cerebras — there are only two or three frontier AI labs on earth. Standard Nuclear and Syntiant are niche plays in nuclear fuel and edge AI where public comps barely exist. Shield AI, Saronic, and Quantinuum sit in the same bucket — defense autonomy and quantum computing with no clean public comp. These should price well. Kraken and Plaid, by contrast, will be benchmarked against Coinbase and existing fintech multiples, and Revolut will be measured against SoFi and Chime — tougher math. Perplexity and Cohere face a different problem: they'll be priced relative to OpenAI and Anthropic, the two names that make everything else in AI look small.

For VCs, the read-through is on marks: funds holding SpaceX, Cerebras, or Anduril pre-IPO positions are sitting on real gains. Funds holding Klarna or Chime paper are learning that a public listing doesn't guarantee the mark holds — Klarna's slide from a $40 IPO price to roughly $20 nine months later is the clearest example of that lesson so far. We track how those dynamics show up in fund performance on our VC performance dashboard.
