In 2025, the largest initial public offering was by Medline, a medical supply company in Chicago. With a history of rapid, profitable sales growth, Medline is set to continue its success. Serving all points of care with 335,000 products in over 100 countries, it’s known as the Amazon of medical supplies. The company had a $6.3 billion IPO, aiming to pay down debt.
Medline has shown strong sales growth, averaging 18% annually since 1966. Analysts project earnings of $1.17 per share for 2025 and $1.52 per share for 2026. The company’s gross, operating, and net margins are significantly higher than key rivals in the industry.
