Last week was another relatively quiet week in the SPAC market with no new IPOs that s the first time in quite a while with no new supply. There were also only 3 new SPAC S-1s filed, for $350m, in another positive sign for the health of the SPAC market. Don t expect a major change in activity this week as the headwinds from the SEC and general oversupply remain in effect. But, remember, this slowdown is good news and shows the market is getting healthier.
SPAC Stock Ideas for Friday (and Beware the SPAC Short Sellers)
It may not feel like it, but the SPAC market may be on track to become healthier than ever. It s yield + optionality for the win. But, be careful as the field hasn t cleared yet and short sellers will make life hard for the SPACs and investors who buy into overly hyped financials and technology.
