Summary Box: Busy week shaping up for IPOs

Summary Box: Next week could be busiest week for IPOs since November 2007

HOW MANY: There could be as many as seven IPOs debuting next week. If all go through, it would be the busiest week since November 2007.

WHY NOW: Companies want to go public when investors are eager to make riskier bets. After a volatile start to the year, the stock market has stabilized with eight straight days of gains.

WHAT'S HOT: For next week, market watchers say a Chinese hotel company, China Lodging Group Ltd., and two technology companies, broadband communications provider Calix Networks Inc. and chip maker MaxLinear Inc., could do well.
