And I think a lot of companies feel the same way I do, and it's just going to be a little bit quieter.\"\nA federal appeals court recently struck down Nasdaq's attempt to diversify company boards. \nIn mid-December, a mostly conservative federal appeals court concluded the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) should not have approved the Nasdaq rules in 2021.\n\n\n\n  Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi (left) with Nasdaq chair and CEO Adena Friedman (right) at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. \n \n\nThese rules would have required the thousands of mostly tech companies on the exchange to have at least one woman on their board and one person who identified as a minority or LGBTQ. A company would have to explain why it was unable to meet this requirement. The rules also included an annual board diversity disclosure. \nIn addition, President Trump has vowed to rid the federal government of DEI mandates, while Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg has called for more masculine energy in companies.\n\"I think that being a CEO is a competitive existence. I am a competitor,\" Friedman said.  \n\"But being competitive and being quietly confident — they're not antithetical to each other. Having quiet confidence, being humble, being a learner, being willing to listen to other people, that's a core part of being a successful CEO as well.\"\n\nFriedman is ultimately bullish on IPO outlooks as the Trump administration loosens up regulations. \nThe IPO market was mixed at best in 2024 despite strong showings by Reddit (RDDT), Viking (VIK), and Rubrik (RBRK). IPOs raised about $123 billion last year, compared to a peak of $594 billion in 2021, according to Dealogic data. \nA total of 150 companies went public last year, per a Renaissance Capital study. \nDealmakers expect the IPO market to kick back into a higher gear this year. \nThe public pipeline contains more than 170 companies looking to raise $11 billion in capital, Renaissance Capital said. At least 10 companies aim to raise a minimum of $100 million and have filed paperwork to go public in the past 90 days. \nEnergy and tech companies lead the pipeline.\n\"While some may be skeptical that a pickup is once again 'right around the corner,' the IPO market has a stronger foundation now than at any point in the past three years,\" Renaissance Capital noted. \n\"The IPO environment was getting better as we went through 2024 but as you know, it has been three years of a pretty challenging environment,\" Friedman explained.\n\"With the new administration coming in, there's definitely a more, I would say, more certainty that there could be a really interesting and exciting environment for this year. We would expect, though, that it still will be kind of back-half-weighted.\"\n—\nBrian Sozzi is Yahoo Finance's Executive Editor. Follow Sozzi on X @BrianSozzi, Instagram, and on LinkedIn.
