Jan 29 (Reuters) - Blackstone expects its large IPO

pipeline for 2026 to be concentrated ‌in the corporate space ​and

most activity to ‍be in the ⁠United ⁠States with some in India,

president ‌and chief ​operating officer Jon Gray said on ⁠Thursday.

"It ‍feels ​like 2013/14, where you had that four or ‍five year

hibernation period, the markets reopened and we took a bunch of

companies ​public," ‍Gray said on a conference call.

Gray ​said there would be a focus on energy and electricity

companies and the "picks and shovels" ​around that.
