While the IPO market is frozen during the government shutdown, Discord is poised for an initial public offering that would break a multiyear drought in gaming and interactive entertainment stocks to stand as the largest IPO in the sector since Roblox went public in 2021. This comes after the company rejected Microsoft’s $12 billion acquisition offer, brought on its first CFO, and reached $890 million in revenue.
