GFM IPO Column Opener

10 Most Watched Upcoming IPO Companies Globally

GFM Observation Team Welcome to the inaugural feature of the GFM IPO column! In the capital market at the end of 2025, the IPO frenzy is reigniting with full momentum, especially in mature sectors like AI infrastructure, precision medicine, new energy storage, and cross-border e-commerce supply chains. Based on the latest S-1 and F-1 filings in the SEC EDGAR system, and multiple cross-validations (such as IPO tracking reports from AlphaSense, Renaissance Capital, and Forge Global), we have selected 10 upcoming IPO companies with the greatest potential globally. These companies have not only submitted listing applications but also demonstrate strong revenue growth, innovative technology, and market leadership, and are expected to hit the US stock market in 2025 Q4 or 2026 Q1.

I. Selection Criteria: Why These 10 Companies? Readers often ask: "With IPOs surging globally, why focus only on these?" Our criteria are strictly based on data-driven approaches and cross-validation, ensuring objectivity and authenticity: • SEC EDGAR Files as Core: All companies have public or confidential S-1/F-1 registration statements (for example, BillionToOne's S-1 was submitted on October 7, 2025, CIK 2070849). We extract financial data, risk factors, and business highlights directly from EDGAR. No company contact is needed; everything is publicly verifiable.

Growth Potential Screening: Focusing on YoY revenue growth 50%, valuation 1 billion USD, and belonging to hot industries (such as AI accounting for 30% of IPO expectations, with new energy storage growth rate reaching 15.6%). Cross-validation sources include Renaissance Capital's IPO calendar (predicting 10-15 AI IPOs in 2025) and AlphaSense's market insights (CoreWeave as the "most anticipated AI company"). • Market Influence: Prioritizing companies that can reshape industries, such as AI chip supply chains addressing the global computing power shortage, or cross-border e-commerce companies tackling US-EU tariff challenges. Excluding cases already listed or too long delayed (such as Cerebras due to delayed financing). • Risk Balance: Considering geopolitics (such as Chinese companies' F-1 facing VIE structure scrutiny) and regulation (such as the EU imposing an additional EUR 2 fee on e-commerce parcels starting May 2025), ensuring diversification (mainly US stocks, covering biotech, AI, energy, e-commerce). • Reader Value: These companies not only have impressive data (such as Chime's platform assets reaching 90 billion USD) but also possess compelling stories (BillionToOne evolving from "single DNA testing" to precision oncology), making them easy for investors to understand and track. These criteria allow us to avoid subjective bias and focus on "worth watching" rather than "hot hype." Next, we provide a table overview of the 10 companies, followed by in-depth analysis of each company's S-1 highlights, financial data, and investment insights. Table data comes from EDGAR S-1 filings and cross-validation (e.g., IPO tracking from StockAnalysis.com). 【2025-2026 Global Top 10 Most Watched Upcoming IPO Companies Overview】
