There have been just 54 initial public offerings so far this year, which is the lowest number through September of any year since at least 1991. The second lowest was during the dot com hangover of 2001, when there were 66 through September. After a decent amount of 15 offerings in January, we saw 8 in February, 5 in March, 5 in April, 8 in May, 4 in June, July and August, and just 1 so far in September.
