Fact-check: “IPO activity has increased about 75% over the past 2 years”
Verdict: True (92% confidence)
Official SEC quarterly data show the number of IPOs rose from 63 in Q3 2024 to 109 in Q2 2026, a 73.0% increase. That rounds to about 75% and directly supports the claim over the roughly two-year window ending with the latest completed quarter available on August 21, 2026. IPO proceeds are a separate activity measure and do not determine the count-based verdict.
