2026 could see some of the most valuable private companies, including SpaceX and Anthropic, go public. While those filings may still be weeks away, a market expert identified five IPOs that could price this week.

Freedom Capital Markets Chief Market Strategist Jay Woods highlighted these five offerings as ones investors should watch closely.

"While all the talk continues to surround the launch of SpaceX scheduled to debut in mid-June, this week is shaping up to be the busiest week of the year for new listings hitting the open market," Woods wrote in a weekly newsletter.

Woods said this could mark the most IPOs in a week since 2021, with two potential listings this week that could raise over $1 billion.

"QNT may generate the headlines, but all five IPOs touch on some of Wall Street's favorite themes – quantum computing, defense, digital advertising, AI infrastructure, and energy."

Woods said the busy week of offerings could also show if investors are "willing to pay premium valuations" for these key sectors.

The Five Companies

Here are the five companies going public highlighted by Woods in the newsletter:

  • Quantinuum – QNT (quantum computing): The company is backed by Honeywell (NASDAQ:HON) and looking to raise over $1 billion in an offering that could value the company at $12.7 billion. "Some believe could become the poster child for the next technological frontier beyond AI," Woods said. Woods said the offering comes amid strong interest in quantum stocks, following the White House administration’s stakes in several names in the sector.
  • Liftoff Mobile – LFTO (ad tech, mobile software): An offering could value Liftoff Mobile at $3.7 billion and would mark the public debut of another mobile advertising company. The company helps app developers monetize their users.
  • Applied Aerospace & Defense – AADX (defense): A defense company going public now could see strong interest with increased global defense spending a key theme from the current White House administration. The offering is expected to value the company at $3.6 billion.
  • INNIO – INIO (energy infrastructure): The other company that could raise over $1 billion in an offering is INNIO, a company that supplied power generation systems used by AI data centers.
  • WhiteHawk Minerals – WHK (natural gas royalties, energy): WhiteHawk owns royalty interest for some natural gas production assets. "As the AI buildout continues, these companies represent a less obvious but potentially lucrative way to invest in the infrastructure needed to keep the lights on," Woods said of INNIO and WhiteHawk Minerals.
