German car parts seller Autodoc puts IPO on hold
In a statement, Autodoc added that an IPO at a later time remained under consideration by the company and shareholders, without saying why the IPO was postponed.
The planned transaction would have seen the sale of existing shares worth as much as 390 million euro ($453.18 million), for a total equity value of the company of as much as 2.3 billion, with the first day of trading scheduled for Wednesday.
The risk of global trade disputes over tariffs has led to the suspension of a number of listings and the military conflict between Israel and Iran has further added to the market volatility.
Metals investor Cobalt Holdings earlier this month suspended London IPO plans, declining to specify the reasons. That was after Germany's 1Komma5 Grad, a renewable-energy systems provider, and Swedish fintech Klarna in April put U.S. listing plans on hold.
In March, German pharmaceuticals company Stada postponed an IPO in Frankfurt.

"I've seen, indeed, a lot of reporting, a lot of letters and a lot of things being said on the AI Act. Let me be as clear as possible, there is no stop the clock. There is no grace period. There is no pause," Commission spokesperson Thomas Regnier told a press conference. "We have legal deadlines established in a legal text. The provisions kicked in February, general purpose AI model obligations will begin in August, and next year, we have the obligations for high risk models that will kick in in August 2026," he said. The Commission plans to propose steps to simplify its digital rules towards the end of the year, such as cutting back on reporting obligations for small companies. Some companies have voiced concerns about the compliance costs and tough requirements of the AI rules, which aim to set guardrails on a technology key to multiple sectors of the economy and currently led by the United States and China.
