发帖数: 3464 | 1 The Wall Street Journal is reporting that daily deals provider Groupon is
expected to pick Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley as its two lead
underwriters in a planned initial public offering later this year, people
familiar with the matter said.
The IPO is expected to value the Chicago company at between $15 billion and
$20 billion, people familiar with the matter told the Journal.
J.P. Morgan Chase is one of the banks that is expected to have a co-manager
role for the Groupon IPO, the people said, adding that at least two other
banks are vying to be part of the syndicate.
Groupon, a Web site which matches merchants willing to sell discounted goods
and services with buyers, hasn’t decided exactly how much it plans to
raise from the initial offering of its stock to investors, but it could be
as much as $1 billion, according to the people familiar with the matter.
According to the Journal, the IPO is currently planned for the second-half
of 2011, and will potentially be in the third quarter. |
