7 IPOs to Watch in 2025: Big Bets, Bigger Valuations, and the Next Market Movers
2025 is already shaping up to be a blockbuster year for IPOs.
Welcome to Staten News — where we don’t just ride the market waves, we tell you which ones are about to make a splash.
And if you’re looking to get ahead of the curve, these seven names should be at the top of your watchlist.
From fintech titans to AI trailblazers, the companies listed below aren’t just going public — they’re going prime time.
💳
1. Stripe
Est. Valuation: $91.5B
Industry: Fintech
The crown jewel of private fintech. Stripe powers the payment infrastructure of the internet. From solo creators to Fortune 500s, they’ve got the rails built — and going public could make them the default payment king for a generation.
This isn’t a flashy consumer brand — it’s a behind-the-scenes powerhouse.
Hot Take: If Shopify was the storefront, Stripe is the vault.
💸
2. Klarna
Est. Valuation: $15B
Industry: Fintech
The buy-now-pay-later giant is finally making its move. Klarna’s European roots and global reach put it in a strong spot to capitalize on e-commerce expansion — but competition is steep.
Hot Take: If the Fed keeps rates high, Klarna’s runway shortens. Still — huge consumer loyalty and brand trust.
💱
3. Revolut
Est. Valuation: $45B
Industry: Fintech
Think of Revolut as a bank, broker, travel wallet, and crypto hub all in one slick app. It’s dominating Europe, and aiming to crack deeper into the U.S. market. This IPO could be the fintech moment of the year.
Hot Take: If Robinhood and Venmo had a smarter cousin — it’d be Revolut.
🎟
4. StubHub
Est. Valuation: $16.5B
Industry: Exchange & Resale
Post-pandemic, live events are booming — and StubHub is one of the biggest secondary ticket marketplaces in the game. Expect big retail interest here. Think sports, concerts, and resale strategy meets tech.
Hot Take: They’re betting that FOMO is forever. And they might be right.
🧠
5. Cerebras
Est. Valuation: $4.3B
Industry: Technology
The AI hardware race has a new dark horse. Cerebras builds chips specifically for AI workloads — and their wafer-scale engines are massive (literally). While NVIDIA dominates headlines, Cerebras is carving out serious niche power.
Hot Take: Small IPO, big vision. Don’t sleep on the silicon.
💳
6. Chime
Est. Valuation: $10B
Industry: Fintech
No-fee banking. Slick UX. Massive millennial adoption. Chime is the U.S. digital banking darling, and 2025 might finally be the year it hits the markets. But profitability questions still linger.
Hot Take: Feels like the people’s IPO. But they’ll need more than good vibes to hold value post-debut.
🏥
7. Medline
Est. Valuation: $50B
Industry: Medical Equipment
Quietly one of the largest privately held manufacturers of medical supplies, Medline is everywhere — from hospitals to home care. With supply chain consolidation and aging populations, this could be a sleeper hit for institutional investors.
Hot Take: It won’t trend on Twitter, but Medline might be the steadiest growth bet of the bunch.
This year’s IPO class isn’t just hype and logos.
It’s infrastructure. It’s AI. It’s global money movement and real-world utility.
Whether you’re investing or just observing, these 7 names will shape headlines — and portfolios — in 2025.
Stay smart. Watch the filings. And when the bell rings…
Make sure you’re playing offense.
