European stock market operator Euronext said it completed 53 new equity listings in 2024, representing a third of the listing activity in Europe.
These new equity listings raised €3.9 billion in new capital, up 55% compared to 2023.
Meanwhile, more than 14,700 new bond listings were also recorded in 2024 - an all-time record.
Euronext operates exchanges in Dublin, Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon, Milan, Oslo and Paris.
The biggest listings during the year included UK-based CVC Capital Partners, which was the largest company to go public this year in Europe in terms of market capitalisation at listing.
Other big listings included Exosens, Havas, Paratus Energy Services, Planisware, Louis Hachette Group and Greece-based Theon International.
More than 200 issuers also raised over €15 billion through follow-on transactions.
Euronext also welcomed 11 new international companies in 2024, representing 50% of international equity listings across Europe and 20% of new listings on Euronext.
Euronext has already held seven international IPO days with workshops in the Czech Republic, Greece, Lithuania, Poland, Switzerland and Singapore.
It also established a new international listing team this year, based in London, to grow its global listing franchise further.
Stéphane Boujnah, CEO and Chairman of the Managing Board of Euronext, said that Euronext was once again the leading listing venue in Europe in 2024.
"Our single liquidity pool, central order book and single trading platform have empowered European and international companies to meet their funding needs and their growth ambitions," the CEO said.
"Our undisputed leadership allows us to develop new services and products for issuers, brokers and investors, to grow globally and strengthen our position as the reference listing venue for European and international companies, with a specific focus on technology companies," he said.
"In 2025, our franchise will be even stronger and will attract more and more companies to list on the most liquid market in Europe," he added.
