Good morning, Nina Lindholm here with the Europe Wire from the London newsroom.
The IPO market is experiencing positive momentum, some dealmakers say, although it has not yet fully reopened. MidEuropa is the latest private equity investor to try its luck with an IPO, as the firm has announced plans to list a Polish diagnostics services provider.
We then swap over to the world of semiconductors, as Lincoln International managing director Sibert Meulenbelt walks us through his thoughts on the segment.
IPO ahead
Bridgepoint’s Xavier Robert called the closed IPO market a problem that “is not going away” in his NEXUS 2025 preview interview with PE Hub. That’s not stopping some firms from trying. MidEuropa has announced plans to list diagnostic services provider Diagnostyka on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

Temporary measure
Semiconductors could become a trillion-dollar industry by 2030, according to various forecasts. I caught up with Lincoln International managing director Sibert Meulenbelt to learn more about the segment and what kind of opportunities and challenges it provides for private equity investors.
To read Meulenbelt's thoughts on the topic, check out the full Wire coverage here.
For more on tariffs’ impact on PE dealmaking, take a look at PE Hub editor-in-chief MK Flynn’s interview with West Monroe’s Brad Haller and Jeremy Tancredi.
That’s all from me this morning. MK Flynn will be with you with the US edition later today, and Craig McGlashan will be on the Europe Wire duty tomorrow morning.
Cheers,
Nina
