What happened

The US IPO calendar opens the fourth quarter empty: Renaissance Capital lists no deals scheduled to price in the week of October 5. It names three companies that are eligible to launch - neocloud firm Nscale and biotechs TRex Bio and Iambic Therapeutics. The firm also says Anthropic is reportedly firming up its listing timeline, with marketing possible as soon as the week of November 9. Four lock-up expirations fall in the week.

Why it matters for listed companies

An empty week means no underwriting fees for the banks that run US listings and no new supply for funds that buy them. Renaissance's IPO Index was up 16.4% for the year at October 1 against 13.0% for the S&P 500, so recent listings have traded better than the wider market - the lull is about timing, not poor aftermarket results. A deal the size of Anthropic's tends to make smaller issuers pick their dates around it. The November timing is reported, not filed: no price range or share count is public.
