Klarna成功登陆纽交所 首日融资13.7亿美元
瑞典支付服务商Klarna成功在美国完成上市,首日融资13.7亿美元。公司与部分老股东共出售3430万股股票,每股定价40美元,高于原计划的35至37美元区间。据知情人士透露,此次发行超额认购25倍。股票自周三起以代码“KLAR”在纽约证券交易所挂牌交易。Klarna早在4月就因美国关税引发的市场动荡推迟了上市计划。此次顺利上市不仅对公司本身意义重大,也为整个金融科技(Fintech)行业注入信心。近期的股市反弹及其他企业的成功IPO重新点燃了投资者的热情。
Klarna在2023年营收达28亿美元,净利润2100万美元。其主要收入来源是向商家收取的服务费(约占四分之三),其余部分来自消费信贷利息。去年日均处理交易达290万笔,用户超过1亿,合作商家达72万家。
不过,盈利仍是Klarna面临的挑战。至今年6月底的季度,公司亏损扩大至5200万美元,而上年同期为700万美元。但营收依然保持增长,从6.82亿美元升至8.23亿美元。
Klarna成立于2005年,原名“Kreditor”,2010年更名。2017年获银行牌照。其“先买后付”(Buy now, pay later)服务最为知名,此外App还提供预算管理等功能。
分析师指出,尽管当前市场对金融科技IPO重新开放,但投资者会更快检验企业在复杂经济环境下平衡增长与盈利的能力。作为对比,竞争对手Chime在6月上市首日股价飙升59%,但目前已跌破发行价。
Klarna recently made a successful debut on the New York Stock Exchange, raising $1.37 billion in its first day of trading by selling 34.3 million shares at $40 each, exceeding its initial price range. The offering was oversubscribed by 25 times. This IPO not only marks a significant milestone for Klarna but also instills confidence in the fintech sector amid a market rebound.
Despite posting revenues of $2.8 billion and a net profit of $21 million in 2023, Klarna faces challenges with profitability, reporting a loss of $52 million in the most recent quarter. The company is known for its "buy now, pay later" service, catering to over 100 million users.
While investor enthusiasm for fintech IPOs is returning, analysts caution that companies will need to demonstrate their ability to balance growth and profitability in a complex economic environment.
