5 Upcoming IPOs This Week Led by Global Medical IPO (NYSE: GMRE)

upcoming iposThere are five upcoming IPOs this week as the second quarter comes to an end. According to Renaissance Capital, a manager of IPO-focused ETFs, all five offerings are expected to raise a combined $275 million in proceeds.

The IPO market in Q2 saw an impressive increase in activity from the first quarter. As of today (Monday, June 27), 32 initial public offerings have priced this quarter - four times the number of deals that priced during the first quarter. Those 32 companies raised a combined $5.3 billion in proceeds, eclipsing the $700 million raised in Q1.

Leading the pack of new IPOs this week is Global Medical REIT Inc. (NYSE: GMRE)...

Global Medical is a real estate investment trust (REIT) based in Bethesda, Maryland. The company owns 12 healthcare facilities across eight states and earns an average of $6.7 million in rent every year. These income-producing properties include various hospitals and surgery centers. The firm is going public to repay some of its debt and raise enough money to finalize acquisitions of two facilities in Connecticut and Pennsylvania.

The Global Medical IPO will be the second REIT IPO of the year behind MGM Growth Properties LLC (NYSE: MGP), which raised $1.1 billion in April. The REIT market has been booming this year thanks largely to the Fed's hesitance to raise interest rates. The Dow Jones REIT Total Return Index (REIT) is up 8.7% in 2016. That compares to a 1.5% decline for the Dow Jones Industrial Average during the same time.

With the MGM IPO being one of the largest offerings of the year, Global Medical is poised to attract plenty of interest when it starts trading this week. It will raise $100 million by selling 9.1 million shares at a price range of $10 to $12. The company is valued at $133 million and will hit the market on Wednesday, June 29.

Here are the rest of the deals on this week's IPO calendar, including one of the most popular brands of iced tea in the eastern United States...
