Investing.com -- The upcoming weeks may witness a surge in initial public offerings (IPOs) on European stock exchanges, as easing market volatility presents a golden opportunity for issuers to reach potential investors.

According to Bloomberg, citing insiders, at least five substantial companies are contemplating a debut share sale on regional markets before the traditional summer slowdown, which typically commences in mid-July. The identities of these insiders have been kept private due to the confidential nature of the discussions.

Among the companies considering entering the market are German entities Autodoc SE, an online retailer of car parts supported by Apollo Global Management (NYSE: APO ) Inc., and Brainlab AG, a medical technology firm. Both companies are looking to capitalize on this window of opportunity.

In addition to these German firms, Sweden’s Hacksaw and NOBA Bank Group AB, backed by Nordic Capital, are also contemplating forthcoming offerings.

In Portugal, Novo Banco SA is simultaneously preparing for a potential IPO and discussing a possible sale, according to the same anonymous sources. This dual approach could provide the bank with multiple avenues for growth and development. The final decision will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions and the interests of potential investors.
