Stripe, a major player in the fintech industry, is widely recognized for its online payment processing solutions. Valued at over $65 billion, San Francisco-based, Stripe’s IPO is highly anticipated by investors looking to capitalize on the continued growth of e-commerce and digital payments. The company recently raised $694.2 million through a private stock sale and is rumored to be planning a share buyback through a tender offer. Sequoia Capital’s offer to buy 861 million Stripe shares at $27.51 each has pushed Stripe’s estimated valuation closer to $70 billion. With $615 million in free cash flow in Q2 2024, Stripe is becoming even more attractive to investors. As more businesses move online, Stripe’s services are in higher demand than ever, making it one of the favorite horses in the 2025 IPO derby.

Why do companies offer IPOs?
Companies raise capital from the capital markets through an IPO. The capital raised could be used for various business requirements such as capacity expansion, product diversification, entry into a new region, major R&D initiatives, merger and acquisition activities, etc. Disclosure of the proposed use of the funds must be mentioned in the offering memorandum.
The advantage for a company to raise capital through an IPO over other traditional financing channels such as loans is public visibility and the opportunity to enhance market capitalization.
The layman gets the opportunity to buy shares and holds a small share of the company’s ownership. Therefore, from a valuation perspective, it makes sense for companies to opt for the IPO route.
