Clarna aims at the public, with the aim of raising $ 1.25 billion after a recovery of the recession of $ 6.7 billion with renewed growth. Meanwhile, the BNPL competition is closely monitoring.
Clarna, the Swedish purchase giant of advanced material, went on Wednesday, September 10, after 20 years as a private company.
Close the share price at $ 45.82, an increase of 15 %, after Fintech has priced the public subscription over expectations.
Once, Clarna reached the most valuable evaluation in Europe, as it amounted to $ 46 billion in 2021, to meet a sharp decline to $ 6.7 billion in the following year due to total economic factors and increased organizational scrutiny.
Clarna planned to raise up to $ 1.25 billion on the New York Stock Exchange. Trading under the Ticker Klar icon, the company ended with a collection of $ 1.37 billion.
In 2024, Clarena reported 2.8 billion dollars in revenue, 24 % annual growth, and its first profit since 2019.
Claarna John Cracchk spokesman declined to comment on the public subscription process.
Klarna’s public subscription trip is not without obstacles
“Claarna is interesting, as they planned for public subscription until it made it fluctuate the tariff they pull it. This is a difficult start,” says Colin Simmons, Director of Information at Lloyd Financial. Although the expectations of the offers were strong, as the subscription subscription increased, Simons indicates that the biggest question is whether in the long run investors will be ready to buy in the post -reassurance phase. “Some anxiety is whether inflation data may cause chaos, which affects liquidity.”
Symons also shares his cautious view of Klarna’s growth, noting that the growth rate is 15-25 % “not great” and that the company’s results remain volatile. “I will not be in a hurry to buy it, after the default,” he confesses. ))
Bullish, the encryption platform operator, witnessed a decrease in the share price of more than 20 % when it was announced on August 13.
SYMONS also compares the shares of Klarna with competitors such as San Francisco, describing it as “less and more volatile quality”, which is believed to justify its reduced evaluation compared to peers.
Despite these concerns, Klarna’s concentration on profitability, strong customer growth, and strategic partnerships – such as its deals with Walmart – can make the $ 14 billion evaluation can be achieved or even overcome, indicating a possible transformation of other European startups that compete for the general lists.
As for the broader subscription status, Simons says that subscription subscriptions remain interesting “as long as liquidity remains abundant.”
“But we have already seen more than $ 40 billion in deals,” he warns. “The risks are that the market loses its appetite with the running out of buyers.”
Who is the next?
Klarna is not the only company to go in public. Figure Technology Solutions is its first commercial appearance on September 11, while the Legend Corp. Black Rock Coffee, Gemini Space Station (GEMI) and transmission to September 12. See the graph below.
But as for European technology, Simons considers the London -based Revoleut company is the prominent company that must be seen.
He added: “The revolution of a company seems better for me, so that it can be interesting.”
Revoleut recently revealed the sale of secondary shares, the UK’s evaluation has strengthened to $ 75 billion. While selling stocks provides liquidity to employees, the timing has led to speculation that the long -awaited public subscription in a revolution may be delayed.
Some believe that it indicates impatience between employees or a possible step to be included in New York instead of the United Kingdom, given the organizational frustration with the slow banking licensing process in the United Kingdom (Nick Storonski, CEO of Droclut in December, said that the UK list is not rational “).
“Our long -term goal is to expand internationally and become one of the best three financial applications in all the markets that we enter,” said David Terrado, Vice President of Joy and World Work..
Whether the revolution is encouraged by KLARNA public subscription efforts to accelerate the process that must be seen. The other technology was hesitant. Stripe Stripe, like Klarna, like Klarna, was among the most subscribers that spoke about subscriptions in 2023. Today, the tape is still special, with no official date of public subscription.
Although the first general appearance is eagerly awaiting, the company’s leadership has not adhered to a specific time schedule and it seems that he is not in a hurry. However, the fact that many other clothes are preparing for the audience after Claarna this week, says Julian Calcluchko of Fintech, “Now it will be the time to do this.”
“There is an old saying from Wall Street walking,” when the duck is nourishing them, “Clemotchko added.
