The IPO Calendar for the week of June 8th shows two deals looking to raise $552 million, but one – Vroom (VRM proposed) – has already increased its price range and accelerated its pricing date. That IPO hit the gas pedal before last week’s IPO market had even been put to bed. (We’ll have more […]

Four IPOs got priced last week while a small-cap Chinese deal was pushed onto this week’s calendar. China Liberal Education Holdings (CLEU proposed) is the carryover.
