Unleashing eToro: Ready to Go Public for $4B
eToro Aims for $4 Billion IPO Evaluation in Stock Market Debut
Jump on board the financial rollercoaster as online trading platform, eToro, prepares to make a splash with its upcoming initial public offering (IPO). According to a recent filing, the Israel-based company aims for a staggering valuation of around $4 billion.
Diving into the details, eToro plans to sell 10 million shares, priced between $46 and $50 apiece. This range would raise a whopping $500 million in gross proceeds. At the higher end of the spectrum, the company's valuation comes in at a cool $4 billion.
The move comes after a brief pause in IPO presentations last month due to market instability caused by tariff-related volatility, as reported by Reuters.
Last year was a banner one for eToro. Their reported commissions soared to $931 million on net income of $192 million, significantly higher than the previous year's figures of $639 million in commissions and $15 million in net income. The surge was largely due to the explosive growth in cryptocurrency trading, which accounted for 38% of eToro's total commissions in 2024. That's more than double the percentage from the year before.
This upcoming IPO wouldn't be eToro's first rodeo. In 2021, the company announced plans to merge with a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC), a deal that would have valued eToro at over $10 billion. However, that plan was shelved more than a year later.
Looking ahead, eToro is expected to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "ETOR". Get ready for the ride!
