Visma Weighs Delay to London IPO Amid Software Sector Downturn

Visma is considering delaying its planned London initial public offering after a pronounced sell-off in the software sector, according to reporting from the Financial Times. The Norwegian software company and its private equity backers are weighing whether to shift the listing into the latter half of 2026, a move that would postpone what has been reported as a potentially transformative listing for the UK market.

The development comes as volatility continues to weigh on technology stocks globally. The sell-off in the software sector has prompted Visma and its advisers to reassess the timing of what was previously expected to be a landmark transaction. The listing had been reported as possibly London's biggest initial public offering in years, making any delay significant for GB GB market participants and investors monitoring major capital markets activity.
