Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. said the number of initial public offerings it handles may rise this year, buoyed by strong equity markets and the Federal Reserve’s announcement that it will reduce bond purchases.
Bruce Aust, who oversees listings at the second-largest operator of U.S. stock exchanges, predicted there will be a cluster of IPOs around April and May. There were 126 IPOs at Nasdaq last year, the most since 2007, as an economic recovery propelled markets to new records.
