Nas­daq wraps up Q3 with IPO pitch­es from Gami­da Cell, NGM, Arog to­talling $219M

Nas­daq’s bub­bling biotech week did not just end with Gri­s­tone’s top-of-the-range raise, which brought the IPO tal­ly to $520 mil­lion. Late Fri­day, three more biotechs lined up to en­ter the club, seek­ing a col­lec­tive $219 mil­lion to fu­el mid- and late-stage en­deav­ors on can­cer and NASH.

As we en­ter Q4, it re­mains to be seen whether 2018 — at 49 com­plet­ed deals — will sur­pass the 66 bio­phar­ma IPO record set in 2014. But it is with­in range.
