IPO News: Picard Medical files for US IPO amid growth push
The company intends to sell around 4.3 million shares in the initial public offering
After a modest start to the year, IPO activity gained momentum in the second quarter, despite lingering macro headwinds and policy uncertainty. Technology and healthcare companies continue to dominate the IPO scene. Medical device maker Picard Medical, Inc. recently revealed plans to go public.
As per its SEC filing, the company seeks to sell around 4.3 million shares in an initial public offering. On successful completion of the IPO, the stock will trade on the New York Stock Exchange American under the symbol PMI. The estimated offer price is in the range of $3.50 per share to $4.50 per share. The bookrunners are Westpark Capital, Uphorizon, and Sentinel Brokers Company.
The Company
Headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, Picard Medical is primarily engaged in the development of therapeutic devices for cardiovascular diseases.

At the mid-point of the offer price, the initial public offering is expected to generate net proceeds of around $15.4 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions.
