The Nouveau Marché, the French market for technology and growth stocks, is spluttering towards the end of the year, with another two companies postponing their IPOs.

The decision by Ever, a digital processing company, and Benchmark, an internet data firm, to shelve their IPOs takes the tally of pulled deals on the Nouveau Marché deals to six in a little more than a week. Both Ever and Benchmark had been planning to list this week.
