Numbers geeks, this one’s for you. OneIM Acquisition (OIMAU) – the sixth SPAC of 2026 – ended its first day of NASDAQ trading at $10.07 – up 7 cents from its SPAC IPO price -to gain 0.7 percent on Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2026. Volume: 7,199,399.
Seven cents may seem like no big whoop. But OneIM Acquisition outperformed all five SPAC IPOs priced last week – the first full trading week of the year. (See the round-up on last week’s SPACs below the subhead in this column.)
OneIM Acquisition started trading at $10.05 – and hit its session high at $10.10.
Deutsche Bank Securities was the sole book-runner of OneIM Acquisition’s IPO. The SPAC deal – 25 million units at $10 each – raised $250 million on Tuesday night, Jan. 13, 2026.
Each unit of OneIM Acquisition consisted of one share of stock and one-sixth of a redeemable warrant. (Yes! Even the terms of the deal were in tune with the numbers “theme of the day.”)
