I hope that very soon, by 2020, both FlipKart and SnapDeal will be bigger than Aliaba. Modi-ji visionary leadership will make the wish come true!
India will surely surpass China and become a superpower by 2020!
Alibaba's IPO By The Numbers: Bigger Than Google, Facebook, And Twitter Combined - Forbes
Alibaba's IPO By The Numbers: Bigger Than Google, Facebook, And Twitter Combined
Alibaba is not just the largest IPO in U.S. history – it is raising more than the three largest IPOs by American Internet companies combined.
The Chinese e-commerce giant finally priced shares at $68 eachfor its initial public offering after months of anticipation. That would help Alibaba and selling shareholders raise at least $21.8 billion, more than the total amount raised in the GoogleGOOGL -1.29%, Facebook and Twitter TWTR -2% IPOs ($19.8 billion), according to data compiled by FORBES.
The largest IPO in history values Alibaba at $167.6 billion, trailing only a few technology powerhouses such as Apple AAPL+0.11%, IBM IBM -0.46%, Oracle, and Facebook. With such a lofty valuation, it would easily take over as the most valuable Chinese Internet company — a title currently held by its biggest rival Tencent. Alibaba could also potentially edge out China’s biggest state-owned banks to become the most valuable Chinese company, as some analysts have estimated that its price could rise to as much as $100 per share.
Here are six charts that show how Alibaba stacks up against the largest Internet IPOs in U.S. history (as of Thursday closing price):
Alibaba is raising more than Google, Facebook, and Twitter combined:
Alibaba has become one of the most valuable tech companies in the world:
Is Alibaba worth the hype? Only four out of the largest U.S. Internet IPO have positive total return since the offering price:
Will Alibaba go on a roller-coaster ride like Facebook in the next few months? Investors surely hope that it will be more like Twitter and Google.
Alibaba closed at $93.89 per share on Friday, 38% up from the offering price ($68) but just 1.3% higher than the opening price ($92.7) this morning.
