IPO Momentum Builds In 2025: Diginex, CTRL Group, And Others Post Strong Gains

March 11, 2025

The year 2024 saw a meaningful recovery in U.S. IPO (initial public offers) activity. The number of IPOs surged by 38% to 176 in 2024, with seven deals topping $1 billion.

The total proceeds grew by 48% to $33 billion, signaling renewed market confidence. After last year's recovery, 2025 is shaping up to be even more dynamic. The activity suggests that U.S. IPOs are poised to accelerate in 2025. Despite the volatility in the U.S. stock markets during the first few months of the year, 36 new IPOs have been priced year-to-date, marking a 60% increase compared to the same period last year.

Why IPOs Are Compelling for Investors?

IPOs offer investors the opportunity to invest in companies at their early stages, offering the potential for significant returns as the company grows. While the risk of investing in a smaller stock is much higher than buying the stock of an established company, IPOs are undeniably appealing for the potential of exceptional share price gains.

Top Performing IPOs in 2025

Shares of Diginex Ltd (NASDAQ:DGNX) have rallied almost 600% year to date. This represents among the highest share price performance on the Nasdaq in a decade.

The company, which leverages blockchain, machine learning, and data analytics to streamline ESG, climate, and supply chain reporting, went public on Jan. 22 under the ticker DGNX.

Given the phenomenal post-IPO performance, Founder and Chairman Mr. Miles Pelham was invited to ring the closing bell at Nasdaq's Times Square, New York headquarters on March 5.

Diginex's stock rally underscores the broader trend of investor appetite for sustainable investing. With consumers, regulators and investors increasingly prioritizing ESG-conscious companies, there has been a rise in demand for sustainable finance, ethical supply chains, and carbon footprint reduction technologies.

At the event, Kristina Ayanian from the listings team at Nasdaq said, "Diginex's is the best performing Nasdaq IPO in a decade--it's an incredible success! This exceptional growth makes Diginex the best-performing small-cap stock so far in 2025 and has got a resounding thumbs up from the global investment community."

Founder Miles Pelham emphasized that the funds raised at the IPO would support the company's journey to gain a leadership position in the sustainable RegTech industry.
