The survey tracks Initial Public Offering (IPO) activity on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and the TSX Venture Exchange and is updated quarterly.

Key survey findings

A $1.3 billion surge of new equity issues in the fourth quarter helped turn around the 2012 Canadian IPO market and raises hopes for growth in 2013, the annual survey of Canadian equity markets by PwC has revealed.

Nine new issues on the TSX in the last three months of 2012 helped power the final quarter of the year to a total of $1.3 billion in new equity, according to the PwC survey. There were 23 IPOs on all Canadian exchanges during the period, compared to 10 new issues worth just $52 million in the last quarter of 2011.

After a very slow start to the year, the strong fourth quarter leaves 2012 with a total of 62 IPOs on all exchanges, delivering $1.8 billion in new equity for the year. There were 61 IPOs on Canadian exchanges in all of 2011 for a total of $2 billion.
