The initial public offering market, which went into a coma after Facebook’s disastrous debut May 18, has sprung back to life.
In the first two weeks of October, 15 companies went public compared with 30 in the previous four months combined. No deals got done for more than a month after Facebook’s IPO.
Nine companies went public last week, making it the busiest IPO week since the end of March.
The standouts were Workday, a Pleasanton company that sells human-resources software, and Realogy Holdings, which owns Century 21, Coldwell Banker, Sotheby’s International and other real estate brokers.
