FEATURED · CAPITAL FORMATION

Stripe's IPO filing reopens the window for the next generation of fintech listings.

After a four-year freeze in marquee tech IPOs, Stripe's confidential S-1 lands at a $110B target and signals a reopening for late-stage payments, BNPL and AI-infrastructure companies. Bankers say at least 18 deals are queued behind it for H1 2026.
