Chime 预计于 2025 年进行的首次公开募股(IPO)备受关注,其股票发行价区间定为 24 美元至 26 美元,预计最高市值可达 112 亿美元。尽管估值低于此前私募轮融资,但公司营收快速增长,亏损持续收窄,2024 年营收达 17 亿美元。本次 IPO 将为 Chime 及其部分投资者筹集 8 亿美元,并吸引了包括 Cathay Innovation 在内的多家知名风投机构。尽管市场对 IPO 保持谨慎,但 Chime 的表现仍值得期待,尤其是在内部人士未大规模抛售股票的情况下。

💰 首次公开募股(IPO)定价:Chime 将 IPO 股票发行价定为 24 美元至 26 美元,预计最高市值可达 112 亿美元。公司计划通过此次 IPO 筹集 8 亿美元,用于自身发展和部分股东的套现。

📈 财务业绩:Chime 的营收增长迅速,2023 年为 13 亿美元,2024 年增至 17 亿美元,2025 年第一季度已超过 5.18 亿美元。同时,亏损额也在减少,从 2023 年的 2.03 亿美元降至 2024 年的 2500 万美元。

📉 估值差异:Chime 之前的私募估值约为 250 亿美元,高于本次 IPO 的目标。但 IPO 最终定价取决于市场需求,如果投资者看好,股价可能会高于目标范围。

💼 内部人士态度:尽管风投行业对流动性有需求,但除了 Cathay Innovation 之外,Chime 的主要股东,如 DST Global、Crosslink Capital、Access Industries 等,目前并未出售股票,表明他们对公司未来发展持乐观态度。

📅 IPO 时间表:Chime 的 IPO 预计将于 6 月 9 日当周进行。

Chime, whose pending IPO is expected to be one of 2025’s blockbuster hits, issued a share price range on Monday of $24 to $26.

That’s an up-to-$11.2-billion market cap. At the mid-range, the company will raise $800 million for itself and a handful of investors, including European VC powerhouse Cathay Innovation, who plan to sell some shares in the IPO.

Even in these slow IPO times, this wouldn’t be the biggest IPO of 2025. Coreweave, which raised $1.5 billion, and was valued at $23 billion, holds that title. This, even though Coreweave had hoped for far more from its IPO.

Still, Chime’s IPO is one to watch given that the company is reporting fast revenue growth and falling expenses. It reported $1.3 billion in revenue in 2023 and $1.7 billion in 2024 — and it has already booked over $518 million in the first quarter of 2025. Losses shrank from $203 million in 2023 to $25 million in 2024.

The only black eye for Chime is that its last known private valuation was $25 billion, according to Pitchbook’s estimates, far higher than this target. But that doesn’t mean much. If investors are hot for this stock, it will price its IPO above the target range. And if retail investors want it on its first day of trading, its valuation will pop from there.

And there’s at least one strong indication that insiders think it will do that: Even with the thirst for liquidity in venture these days, aside from Cathay, Chime’s largest shareholders are not, at this juncture, selling, according to its latest filing. We’ll see if another filing reveals more insider sales. But other major investors that are holding their stakes include billionaire Yuri Milner’s DST Global, Michael Stark’s Crosslink Capital, and billionaire Len Blavatnik’s Access Industries, as well as VC firms General Atlantic, Menlo Ventures (led by board member Shawn Carolan), and Iconiq, according to the paperwork.

The IPO is currently expected to happen sometime during the week of June 9.
