Bloomberg: IPOX® CEO Josef Schuster on Venture Global’s IPO

IPOX® Founder and Chief Executive Officer Josef Schuster was recently interviewed by Bloomberg on the topic of the US energy IPO market, as LNG firm Venture Global is going public. The article highlights that after a slow year for energy IPOs in 2024, the market is expected to see a rebound, potentially starting in January, driven by the Venture Global’s upcoming listing, which is seeking to raise $2.3 billion.

Josef Schuster noted that several factors are aligning to make the market favorable for energy IPOs like Venture Global's, including rising commodity prices, the strong performance of recent energy IPOs like Landbridge Co. and BKV Corp., and expectations of supportive policies for the energy sector from President-elect Donald Trump.

Schuster believes the market is ready for more energy IPOs, pointing out the positive reception of energy deals even during periods of lower oil and gas prices last year. He further commented on the current attractiveness of "old-economy assets" like those in the energy sector, as exemplified by Venture Global's planned listing.
