April 19, 2024
Week Ahead

Updated Monday, 4/22.

Three listings are currently scheduled for the week ahead, although some small issuers may join the calendar throughout the week.

Enterprise data management and security platform Rubrik (RBRK) plans to raise $679 million at a $6.1 billion market cap. Its Rubrik Security Cloud platform delivers a cloud native SaaS platform that detects, analyzes, and remediates data security risks and unauthorized user activities. The platform is by a wide range of industries and geographies, and, as of January 31, 2024, Rubrik had more than 6,100 customers. The company has substantially grown its subscriptions, giving it a sticky customer base, but remains highly unprofitable.

Commodities broker and trading services provider Marex Group (MRX) plans to raise $300 million at a $1.5 billion market cap. The company’s business consists of five segments: clearing, agency and execution, market making, hedging and investment solutions, and corporate. Marex provides connectivity to 58 exchanges, had a base of more than 4,000 clients as of December 31, 2023, and it executed approximately 129 million trades and cleared approximately 856 million contracts in 2023. It has a leading position among global commodities brokers, an industry characterized by difficult to predict trading volumes and volatility.

Niche aerospace and defense components maker Loar Holdings (LOAR) plans to raise $275 million at a $2.2 billion market cap. Loar specializes in the design, manufacture, and sale of niche aerospace and defense components for aircraft and aerospace and defense systems. Its products span a diverse range of applications supporting nearly every major aircraft platform in use today and include auto throttles, temperature and fluid sensors and switches, and RAM air components, among others. The company has benefitted from strong tailwinds in defense spending, although it is significantly leveraged.
