In 2020, the volume of emissions in Europe was the lowest it had been in over ten years. In total, newcomers to the stock exchange in Europe could collect only 19 billion US dollars. In the coming year should change again. Some tech startups from Europe are already in the starting blocks.
Clear with stock market plans
For example, UK delivery service Deliveroo and DarkTrace, a cybersecurity company, could go public next year. The Swedish payment service Klarna is also named as a promising candidate. The company was only valued at $ 10 billion in a $ 650 million financing round in September. This meant that the value could be doubled within a year.
German candidates are ready
If the IPO succeeds, the valuation can rise again significantly. This is shown by current examples from the USA: AirBnB shot up a whopping 115 percent there on the first day of trading, while “DoorDash”, a delivery service, increased by 70 percent. Auto1 could follow from Germany, the company behind wirkaufendeinauto.de, for example, could be valued at up to five billion euros. About You, an online service for fashion shopping, could also go public in 2021. The platform belongs to Otto, the valuation should be in the range of around three billion euros. Parship and the comparison portal Check24 could also go public. The Flixbus IPO for 2022 will again be hotly debated.
“50 mandates in Europe alone”
With reference to an unnamed banker, a few more European companies could follow the call of the stock exchange, reports the standard. The insider alone has “around 50 mandates across Europe, 60 percent of which are technology-related”. From Germany alone there are “at least half a dozen” in the starting blocks. The total volume of IPOs in Germany in the coming year could amount to 10 billion US dollars. For comparison: That is almost ten times the total from 2020. This year, seven IPOs in Germany brought in a total of a little over a billion euros.
