** Newly-listed U.S. stocks of 2023 Arm Holdings ARM.O, Instacart CART.O and Klaviyo Inc KVYO.N have steadied after volatile post-debut trading that saw all three dip below their offer prices, sparking concerns of lackluster investor demand

** IPOs in the U.S. saw a nascent recovery this year as investors' risk appetite improved and market volatility eased but analysts and bankers have warned companies will need to lower their valuation expectations

** Chip designer Arm's shares have surged ~47% YTD, above its offer price of $51 on the Nasdaq in what was this year's biggest IPO in mid-September with a $65 billion valuation

** Grocery delivery app Instacart has sunk ~22%, including session's move, below its offer price, while marketing automation firm Klaviyo has fallen 7%

** Meanwhile, German sandal maker Birkenstock BIRK.N which had an underwhelming Wall Street debut, underlining caution over new listings in times of high interest rates, has also gained ~6.3% YTD, including session's move

** In a bright spot, shares of Mediterranean restaurant chain Cava CAVA.N were up about 89%, after opening nearly double the IPO price at $42 apiece on the NYSE in June

** Looking ahead, social media giant Reddit, cloud security company Rubrik and software startup ServiceTitan are among the marquee names expected to go public next year
