(Reuters) -Initial public offerings (IPOs) are slowly coming back in Europe after a summer lull.

Swedish real estate group Sveafastfighter priced its IPO at 3.5 billion crowns ($330.59 million), as it plans to debut in Stockholm by the end of the year, while Spanish energy and water utility Cox Energy plans to raise 300 million euros ($328 million).

British sport nutrition firm Applied Nutrition rose 7% on its London debut in October following an IPO in which it raised 157.5 million pounds ($204.39 million).

However, Spanish frozen bakery producer Europastry and fashion retailer Tendam pulled their IPOs, citing market instability.

Proceeds from IPOs across Europe have more than quadrupled year-on-year to 11.4 billion euros in the first half of 2024, a survey by PricewaterhouseCoopers showed.

Here are some of the biggest IPOs carried out in Europe to date by value:

PUIG

The Luxury beauty and fashion group listed in Spain in May, raising 2.61 billion euros for Puig and its eponymous controlling family. Together with an over-allotment option, the total proceeds reached 2.74 billion euros, cementing Puig’s IPO as the largest in Europe since 2022.

GALDERMA

The skin care firm’s IPO in March, which raised 2.3 billion Swiss francs ($2.7 billion), was the biggest offering in Switzerland since smart meter maker Landis + Gyr raised a similar sum in 2017.
