Despite a drop in the number of Asian companies choosing to list on US stock exchanges this year, the total money raised from those initial public offerings (IPOs) has already outpaced last year’s total.

Analysts say the trend reflects both strong demand for big-ticket listings and a cautious approach from smaller players amid regulatory uncertainty.
