The Brazilian digital bank Nubank is lowering its IPO pricing target. Previously, the company was targeting a $10 to $11 per share price range. The reason for the lowered price is because of a new variant of the coronavirus that raises fresh fears of a pandemic. According to people familiar with the matter, the company is now aiming to price its upcoming public offering at $8 to $9 per share.
In June, Nubank predicted a $41.5 billion public-sector float at a price of $10 to $11 per share. But after the company’s first quarter, it was down more than eighty percent. The reason for the IPO price drop is that investors have soured on other Latin American fintech companies with questionable business models. This is a big negative for IPOs, even when the company has a strong valuation.
However, Nubank is still well-funded and will raise billions of dollars from its IPO. While it’s a small fintech, Nubank is a well-funded company with a great track record. As a result, it will still command a robust valuation with its lower IPO pricing. With its upcoming IPO, it will be difficult to top the $2.5 billion that it’s expected to raise.
Although the price of Nubanks shares is lower than expected, some analysts believe that the company’s IPO could raise more than $3.66 billion. Berkshire Hathaway is a major investor in the company, which backed the neobank with $ 500 million in a funding round earlier this year. The Brazilian fintech has already expanded into personal loans, investments and insurance, and is now valued at $40 billion.
After an initial public offering in Brazil, Nubanks’ IPO is expected to raise $2.6 billion from its IPO. It’s a big deal for the company, but the company’s IPO is still a good opportunity for investors to invest in the company. The price will depend on the market’s demand for the shares. A high demand for the shares is a good sign for the company.
Initially, the Brazilian fintech company had planned to sell BDRs on the B3 stock exchange. Its new price range cap would put it at about $9 per share. It would be valued at about $43.5 billion if fully diluted. Its lower IPO pricing is a good sign for investors. It would be the second largest IPO in the world. In terms of market value, Nubank had an implied market cap of $2.6 billion.
The company’s IPO has been one of the most anticipated IPOs of the year. Its target price range was $ 50 billion. But, the recent rise in Treasury yields has dampened investor sentiment in major tech stocks. Despite the uncertainty surrounding Nubank’s IPO, the Brazilian tech company has already generated a profit in the first half of this year. The IPO comes after several major public offerings this year, including rivals Robinhood, Didi Global, and Rivian Automotive.
In the United States, the IPO price of Nubank has triggered a broader debate on how the company will be priced. While Nubank’s IPO was a big deal for the Brazilian fintech industry, the company’s recent announcement has lowered expectations for its U.S. IPO. While the IPO was anticipated to be an important second for Brazilian fintech startups, there are concerns over how investors will react.
