Deutsche Boerse's ISS Stoxx IPO is unlikely in 2023, with a possible delay until 2026. Buying General Atlantic's stake is being considered.
BERLIN (Reuters) -The anticipated IPO of Deutsche Boerse subsidiary ISS Stoxx is now unlikely to come this year, three people familiar with the matter said, even after Ottobock broke a drought of IPOs in Europe's biggest economy earlier this month.
While Deutsche Boerse has said both a listing of ISS Stoxx and buying out minority investor General Atlantic are under consideration, advisers hoped it would be among the first IPOs after the summer break.
A spokesperson for the Frankfurt market operator said that both options continue to be examined. "No decision has been made yet."
An IPO attempt is now not expected before 2026, the people said, with the option of buying General Atlantic's 20% stake being more of a possibility, two of those people said.

An IPO, or Initial Public Offering, is the process through which a private company offers its shares to the public for the first time, allowing it to raise capital from public investors.
Deutsche Boerse is a German financial services company that operates the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and provides various services related to trading, clearing, and settlement of securities.
A subsidiary is a company that is completely or partially owned and wholly controlled by another company, known as the parent company.
A minority investor is an individual or entity that owns less than 50% of a company's shares, thus having limited influence over the company's decisions.
