Warner Music Group has delayed plans to launch its initial public offerings (IPOs), according to people familiar with the matter.

The company made the decision after the S&P 500 Index dropped 12% last week. “Such volatility makes it difficult for IPO underwriters to find steady demand for a company’s shares,” reports [Reuters.](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-ipo/warner-music-cole-haan-delay-ipos-amid-coronavirus-jitters-sources-idUSKBN20P12U?ref=hypebot.com)
