(Reuters) - The market for initial public offerings in the United States has been on a tear since last year, as ample liquidity due to accommodative monetary policies lured a number of companies to list their shares.
On Wednesday, Rivian Automotive was valued at over $100 billion when its shares debuted on the Nasdaq, after the electric vehicle maker raised $11.9 billion in the world's biggest IPO of the year.
U.S. IPOs have raised nearly $276 billion (including those of special purpose acquisition companies) so far in 2021, according to data from Dealogic.
Numerous big names, including Robinhood Markets Inc (NASDAQ:HOOD), Coupang Inc, Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) Global, Roblox Corp and GlobalFoundries, have gone public this year.
Brazilian online lender Nubank, which is expected to sell shares to investors in the coming weeks, is targeting a valuation of over $50 billion.
