Medline Files for U.S. IPO, Posting $13.5 Billion in First-Half Sales

Market reports point to a multibillion-dollar offering that could rank as 2025's largest if it prices before year-end.

Overview

  • The company submitted an SEC registration for a New York listing, naming Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, BofA Securities and J.P. Morgan as lead bookrunners, and it has not yet set the share count or price range.
  • Medline reported first-half 2025 net sales of $13.53 billion and profit of $655 million, reflecting 9.7% year-over-year revenue growth.
  • Bloomberg has reported a potential $5 billion raise and a valuation as high as $50 billion, which could make the deal the biggest U.S. IPO of 2025 if completed before Dec. 31.
  • Medline has been majority-owned by private equity firms Blackstone, Carlyle and Hellman & Friedman since a roughly $34 billion transaction in 2021.
  • U.S. IPO activity has strengthened this year, though a government shutdown caused short-term delays, according to Reuters.
