Acceleration in At-The-Market (ATM) Activity
At-The-Market (ATM) programs have long provided flexibility – particularly to healthcare and real estate issuers – that is becoming even more appealing in a volatile equity market. It’s no surprise that issuers have filed nearly 800 ATM programs for $180 billion of potential proceeds in the past 18 months. Now, activity is broadening to issuers in other sectors attracted by the chance to sell primary shares at the current market price and to capture increases in trading volumes that result from company-specific or sector news flows.
Jefferies has the #1 ATM desk on Wall Street, and the team is available to review potential options with any company considering future primary issuance.
