NYSE Extends Global Capital Raising Leadership to Sixth Consecutive Year

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) extended its leadership as the premier venue for global capital raising with $119.4 billion in proceeds from 392 transactions in 2016, more than any other exchange in the world. Despite muted global IPO activity this year, largely due to equity market volatility early in the year and uncertainty surrounding geopolitical events, the NYSE raised $13.1 billion from IPOs including the largest U.S. IPO of the year in which Chinese express delivery company ZTO Express raised $1.4 billion.
