Disappointing IPO results of Facebook, Groupon discourage companies to go public

Singapore IPOs in Q212 down by 21%.

Results from Janus Corporate Solutions showed that only 96 companies went public from April to June compared to 122 during the first three months of the year.

According to Janus, a possible reason for this decline is the continued sluggishness of the global economy, as well as companies being wary of the disappointing results of several high-profile IPOs such as Facebook and Groupon.

Public limited companies set up in 2Q12 only consist around 1% of the total 14,481 business entities that were formed during the period.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
