Analysts predict that Chime, Databricks, and Stripe are set to go public in 2025. Chime, a fintech company, aims for an IPO after raising $750 million in 2021. Databricks, valued at $62 billion, may delay its IPO to 2026. Stripe, valued at $65 billion, has shown strong cash flow and growth, making it an attractive option for investors. Overall, the anticipated IPOs reflect a positive trend in the market as investor confidence returns. The stock market just had a banner year. The **S&P 500** (^GSPC -0.22%) advanced 23% in 2024, marking the second consecutive year its annual return exceeded 20%. The last time the benchmark index accomplished the same feat was 1998. Not surprisingly, initial public offerings (IPOs) showed signs of rebounding last year. To elaborate, more than 400 U.S. companies went public in 2021, but many investors lost their appetites for risk shortly thereafter as economic conditions worsened. The number of U.S. IPOs fell to 90 in 2022, and the market remained subdued in 2023. However, 121 U.S. companies went public through the third quarter of 2024, which was more than the 101 IPOs during the same period in the previous year. Many analysts expect that momentum to carry into 2025, potentially setting the stage for Chime, Databricks, and Stripe to go public. Here's what investors should know about those highly anticipated IPO stocks. Image source: Getty Images. ## 1\. Chime Chime is a fintech company founded in 2013 on the premise that banking services should be helpful, easy, and free. Its product portfolio includes no-fee checking accounts and high-yield savings accounts, as well as debit cards and secured credit cards (which are backed by cash deposits). The company also provides fee-free overdraft protection on up to $200 through a product called SpotMe. Chime raised $750 million during its most recent funding round, which took place in August 2021. That valued the fintech company at approximately $25 billion, according to *The Wall Street Journal*. No funding rounds have taken place since, but **Forge Global** -- a platform that lets investors buy and sell shares in private (pre-IPO) companies -- currently lists its value around the same level. Importantly, some analysts expected Chime to go public in early 2022, but the IPO never materialized due to the challenging market environment created by high inflation and rising interest rates. However, the company reportedly plans to make its public debut in 2025, according to Bloomberg, though nothing is set in stone. ## 2\. Databricks Databricks is a data analytics software company founded in 2013. Earlier this year, IT consultancy **Gartner** recognized the company as a leader in data science and machine learning. In fact, the report suggests Databricks is the only software vendor with tools comparable to those offered by **Amazon** Web Services, **Microsoft** Azure, and **Alphabet**'s Google Cloud Platform. That connection to the artificial intelligence boom could make the stock a hot-ticket item when it hits the market. Databricks raised $10 billion in its latest funding round, which took place in December 2024. That valued the company at $62 billion. The recency of that funding round casts doubt about whether Databricks will complete its IPO this year. CEO Ali Ghodsi hasn't ruled out the possibility, but he also told Axios the IPO might happen in 2026, instead. Either way, investors should keep an eye on this company. ## 3\. Stripe Stripe is a fintech company founded in 2010. Its platform lets businesses accept payment cards and digital wallets online and in person. The company also supports e-commerce marketplaces with tools for verifying merchant identities, accepting customer payments, and issuing payouts to sellers. Stripe competes against other payment processors like **PayPal** and **Adyen**, and its list of customers includes high-profile companies like Amazon, **Shopify**, and **Instacart**, among many others. Earlier this year, Stripe and certain investors let employees cash out stock in a deal that valued the company at $65 billion, according to *The Wall Street Journal*. Stripe isn't a public company, so it's not subject to the same reporting requirements as its public competitors. But its total payment volume increased 23% in 2023, according to management. The company also said in its latest annual letter that it "was robustly cash flow positive in 2023 and expects to be again in 2024." That could make the stock particularly attractive to investors -- especially those who are leery of cash-burning companies -- when it eventually hits the market. ### Related Stocks - [Stripe.NA - Stripe](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/Stripe.NA.md) - [FLOW.US - Global X US Cash Flow Kings 100 ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FLOW.US.md) - [CASH.US - Pathward Fin](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CASH.US.md) - [600619.CN - HIGHLY](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/600619.CN.md) - [900910.CN - HIGHLY](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/900910.CN.md) - [001279.CN - Strong](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/001279.CN.md) - [02025.HK - RUIFENG POWER](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/02025.HK.md) ## Related News & Research | Title | Description | URL | |-------|-------------|-----| | Rategain Travel 的 Uno 預訂引擎集成了 Stripe，以便為酒店提供直接預訂支付服務 | Rategain Travel Technologies Ltd：公司的 UNO 預訂引擎集成了 Stripe，以便為酒店提供直接預訂支付 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276414108.md) | | 約翰·特託羅在《紐約唯一活着的小偷》中飾演一位年邁的小偷，擁抱模擬技術 | 約翰·圖爾特羅主演的《紐約唯一的活扒手》是一部關於一名年邁扒手在技術變革中掙扎的電影。該片在聖丹斯電影節首映，並在柏林特別展映中亮相，探討了數字時代適應與人際互動的主題。圖爾特羅飾演的角色以一名富有的 Z 世代個體為目標，突顯了代際差異。該 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276475534.md) | | 查寧·塔圖姆在柏林電影節的戲劇《Josephine》中汲取了他在現實生活中的育兒經驗 | 查寧·塔圖姆的電影《約瑟芬》在柏林電影節上展出，基於真實的育兒經歷，探討了通過一個 8 歲女孩的視角目睹性侵犯的影響。塔圖姆分享了與女兒的個人對話，這些對話與他在電影中角色的互動相呼應。導演貝絲·德·阿勞霍受到自身經歷的啓發，強調了故事的情 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276468153.md) | | 特朗普政府的規定可能會使庇護申請者的工作許可暫停 ‘多年’ | 特朗普政府提出了一項規則，可能會暫停庇護申請者的工作許可證多年，旨在減少申請庇護的動機。國土安全部的提案旨在降低處理工作負擔並增加安全檢查。目前，恢復處理工作許可證可能需要 14 到 173 年，具體取決於各種因素。這一變化是減少移民的更廣 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276459433.md) | | A-level 考試成績將在 2 月 27 日公佈 | 在新加坡參加 A-level 考試的學生將於 2 月 27 日下午 2:30 從學校領取成績。成績也將在同一天下午 3:15 通過 SEAB 考生門户網站在線發佈。國際學生將通過電子郵件收到登錄信息。學生可以指定代理人領取成績，並應在線申請 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276412897.md) | --- > **Disclaimer**: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.
