12:42 PM EDT, 09/18/2023 (MT Newswires) -- Klaviyo, a marketing automation company, lifted the proposed price range of its upcoming initial public offering, according to a filing on Monday.
The firm said it estimates its IPO to be priced between $27 and $29 a share, up from the previous range of $25 to $27 announced last week. It plans to offer 19.2 million common A shares, including 7.7 million shares from selling investors. The selling stockholders have granted underwriters a 30-day option to buy an additional 2.9 million shares.
The company expects to have 251.9 million of series A and B shares outstanding following the offering. The company's common A shares will trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the KVYO ticker.
Klaviyo said its investors including certain funds and accounts managed by BlackRock (BLK) and companies affiliated with AllianceBernstein have indicated an interest in buying up to $100 million of series A shares at the IPO price. Its investors include Canadian e-commerce firm Shopify (SHOP), which already owns about 11.2% of Klaviyo's B stock, the filing showed.
The company estimates net proceeds of roughly $296.2 million from selling series A shares, based on the midpoint price of $28 per share. It aims to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes and to finance growth strategies. It said a portion of the amount raised may be used to satisfy the anticipated tax withholding and remittance obligations of about $62.3 million related to the settlement of its restricted stock units. Klaviyo will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by selling stockholders.
For the three-month period ended June 30, Klaviyo reported net income of $10.9 million, swinging from a loss of $11.7 million a year earlier. Total revenue came in at $164.6 million, compared with $109 million in the 2022 quarter.
Online grocery delivery firm Instacart on Friday lifted the per-share price of its planned IPO to between $28 and $30 from the prior range of $26 to $28.

Q: Hello, may I please have your current thoughts on SEDG? The current price action is terrible. I understand from your August 17th response that recent guidance was weak. Just wondering where you see the stock bottoming and what catalysts may trigger a recovery.

Thank-you,

Q: Hello Peter,
Do you still see both Topicus and Lumine Group as long term holds or should i just buy CSU and add more to my existing shares? If oil companies decide to privatize, how would the investor share price be reflected? Does the company buy out our portion of shares and at what price (current price of market).. Lastly, any comments on baytex would be appreciated. Thanks

Q: I am considering adding to a number of these Income Generating names. I know you are generally not a fan of averaging down but is there an entry point that you would add to these names in the current market.

Q: I own CP, CNR, ENB, BCE, in my Rif account and was thinking about selling these to buy UMAX to increase income and keep me in these sectors. They are about 17% of that portfolio and I don't think I am adding risk by doing this but I will be increasing income significantly. Does this move make sense? Thanks, James

Q: I'm trying to understand how safe the preferred shares of Brookfield Office Properties (BPO) are as they are selling at a big discount to par. I understand that obligations of BPO preferred shares are guaranteed by all of the companies within the umbrella of the Brookfield Property Partner L.P. (BPP) group but am not clear whether the obligations of BPP are guaranteed by its parent .
Any information and views you have on this issue would be welcome.
