The Moscow Exchange has identified between 15 and 20 companies that are at a high level of readiness to conduct initial public offerings, according to Boris Blokhin, the exchange's senior managing director for sales and business development.
These firms have reportedly completed the necessary preparatory procedures and are now seeking favorable market windows to launch their listings.
The disclosure points to a deepening IPO pipeline in Russia, suggesting that domestic equity markets are regaining traction for capital raising.
While the specific names of the companies were not disclosed, the sheer volume of prepared issuers indicates that corporate demand for public listings is building, even if execution remains sensitive to broader market conditions and investor sentiment.
This development mirrors a broader global trend of recovering IPO activity.
In Asia, the Singapore Exchange is on track for a significant rebound in 2026, with up to 30 new listings expected if market conditions hold.
