A biotech tests Wall Street's roiled wa­ters and comes away with a $75M IPO haul

Imara didn’t have the pret­ti­est pric­ing mo­ment for its IPO this week, but it did make it out on­to the mar­ket — brav­ing a Wall Street storm that has raised a tem­pest for pub­lic com­pa­nies.

The rare dis­ease play­er raised $75 mil­lion af­ter pric­ing its shares at $16, the low end of the range. That can’t com­pete with the up­sized de­buts that marked the be­gin­ning of the year, but it is a sign that in­vestors haven’t aban­doned all risk as they look for shel­ter in a bear mar­ket.
