Although the overall activity in the IPO markets is still looking for that great jump start, investors are still seeing an increase in quantity and performance. Analysts that track the 90 day returns of new IPO's are showing a 13% increase in returns (up from 5.6%). Although the S&P performance lately has aided in those returns, IPO's have certainly held their own.
