What matters in this story

1
US corporate share buybacks are running at approximately $1.2 trillion annually and are expected to remain at this level through 2026. — Massive buybacks reduce share supply and provide a structural floor for equity prices, favoring shareholders.
+0.60
2
US equity issuance is poised to hit record highs, with IPOs estimated at $200-350 billion and secondary offerings at $400 billion. — While record issuance can signal dilution, in this context it serves as a coincident indicator of high market confidence.

Total equity issuance as a percentage of the $72 trillion US market capitalization remains in line with historical averages. — This mitigates the risk that record-high nominal issuance figures will overwhelm market liquidity or cause systemic instability.
