This week’s IPO Calendar lists $1.8 billion in IPOs. By recent standards, that’s a lot of volume. But this week is an unusual one. It breaks down into just three names: Peloton Interactive (PTON proposed) plans to raise $1.1 billion. Endeavor Group Holdings (EDR proposed) expects to raise $600 million and Oportun Financial (OPRT proposed) aims to raise $100 million.
There you have it – three names totaling $1.8 billion.
The word coming from Wall Street is that there is some hype about these deals. In contrast, a few questions arise after reading the prospectus for each deal. The focal point in each case is the section headed “SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL AND OTHER DATA.” Let’s take a look at this week’s IPOs and those reported numbers.
Peloton Interactive, based in New York City, offers high-end exercise bikes and treadmills along with interactive fitness classes, which subscribers can access through touchscreens attached to those devices. Now for the numbers (see Page 54 of Peloton’s prospectus): For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, Peloton reported a net loss of $195.6 million on revenue of $915 million and an accumulated deficit of $629.5 million.
On Wednesday evening, Sept. 25, 2019, Peloton plans to offer 40 million shares at $26 to $29 each to raise $1.1 billion, the mid-point of its price range.
Endeavor Group Holdings, based in Beverly Hills, California, is a global entertainment, sports and content company. The company offers what it considers the world’s most dynamic and engaging storytellers, brands, live events and experiences.
