The largest initial public offering (IPO) of the year was $4.4 billion, held by U.S. real estate investment trust Lineage Inc., which is the largest owner of temperature-controlled industrial properties worldwide.



According to Market Watch, shares were offered for sale between $70 and $82, and they were sold for $78. In the end, 56.9 million shares were sold by Lineage, which had initially intended to offer 47 million stocks at a valuation of roughly $19 billion.

The Nasdaq exchange will list Lineage shares for trading with the ticker symbol LINE.

Twenty-eight institutions, including Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, BofA Securities, JPMorgan, and Wells Fargo, coordinated the IPO.

Revenue stayed at $1.33 billion, but Lineage's operating profit from January to March was $59.7 million as opposed to $57.9 million in the same time previous year. The trust raised revenue to $5.34 billion in 2023 and profit to $243.9 million, a 4.4% and 8.3% rise, respectively.

The majority shareholder of Lineage is Bay Grove Capital Group LLC, a private equity firm created by former Morgan Stanley employees Adam Forste and Kevin Marchetti.
