**StubHub Eyes Up to $9.2 Billion Valuation in Long-Awaited IPO**
NEW YORK – Ticket resale giant StubHub is once again heading for the public markets, aiming to raise up to $851 million in an initial public offering that could value the company at as much as $9.2 billion, according to a filing released Monday. The company plans to offer over 34 million shares priced between $22 and $25 per share on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “STUB.”
This marks a renewed effort for StubHub, which previously paused its IPO plans in April due to market volatility triggered by trade tariffs. The company also considered going public last year but postponed its launch amidst a general slowdown in the IPO market.
The news comes amidst a resurgence in IPO activity, following successful debuts from companies like cryptocurrency exchange Bullish, design software firm Figma, and crypto firm Circle. Buy now, pay later provider Klarna and crypto firm Gemini are also reportedly preparing for their own IPOs this week.
According to an updated prospectus filed last month, StubHub saw a 10% increase in first-quarter revenue year-over-year, reaching $397.6 million. Operating income for the quarter was $26.8 million. However, the company’s net loss also widened to $35.9 million from $29.7 million in the same period last year.
Founded in 2000, StubHub has become a major player in the ticket reselling industry. It was acquired by eBay in 2007 for $310 million, only to be reacquired in 2020 by co-founder Eric Baker through his new company Viagogo for $4 billion. Before starting the IPO process, StubHub had reportedly sought a valuation of $16.5 billion, according to CNBC reports.
