Analysts Expect Rebound in IPO-Related Revolving Loans

With public offerings from large companies like Uber and Pinterest on the horizon, banks can expect to witness a spike in loan volume to support the IPO process, Reuters reports.

According to data from Thomson Reuters LPC, the rebound comes following a year that saw an absence of IPO-related syndicated bank lending; and IPO-related U.S. bank syndicated loan financing ranged from just $50 million and $1.85 billion over the three years prior. 

That's compared to $9.7 billon issued in 2014.
