US IPO Week Ahead: Anticipation ready to Snap

February 17, 2017
Week Ahead

There are no IPOs scheduled for the upcoming week as we continue with the annual two-week February lull as companies prepare full year 2016 numbers. Snap (SNAP) and alternative asset manager Hamilton Lane (HLNE) have queued up for IPOs in the beginning of March.

Snap set terms on Thursday and launched its roadshow this Friday as it plans to price its $3 billion on March 1. It is targeting a fully diluted market valuation between $20 and $22 billion, which would place it closer to Twitter ($18 B) than Facebook ($104 B) at their IPOs.

Although the next week is bare, the pipeline is filling with companies that could launch in the coming weeks. These include filings from the 4Q16 and more recent JOBS Act filers including high profile and large deals such as $1,000 parka-maker Canada Goose (GOOS), meat processor JBS Foods (JBS) and a trio of fracking companies Liberty Oilfield Services (BDFC), FTS International (FTSI) and ProPetro (PUMP).
