Trader works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York City, U.S., March 30, 2023. The offering gave Klaviyo a valuation of $9.2 billion. BlackRock (BLK.N) and AllianceBernstein have agreed to buy up to $100 million worth of shares each, accounting for a big chunk of the total IPO proceeds. A successful debut of Klaviyo would underscore a revival in the IPO market, which has been on ice for nearly 18 months after the end of an easy-money regime prompted investors to question the valuations of high-flying startups. However, their shares are still above their respective IPO prices.

☆ Marketing firm Klaviyo lifts IPO price range, targets $9 bln valuation

Sept 18 (Reuters) - Marketing automation company Klaviyo on Monday increased the proposed price range for its initial pubic offering (IPO) due this week, targeting a fully diluted valuation of up to $9 billion. Klaviyo said in a filing nearly 19.2 million shares would be sold in the IPO, priced between $27 and $29 each. The IPO, which is scheduled to price on Tuesday, is nearly 20 times oversubscribed because of investor demand, Reuters reported last week. A strong debut from SoftBank's Arm Holdings last week raised hopes of a rebound in the IPO market, but the lukewarm reception to Neumora Therapeutics (NMRA.O) has tempered some optimism. Klaviyo's hike comes after another IPO contender, Instacart, raised its price range on Friday.

Grocery delivery app Instacart, which is also going public next week, raised its IPO price range on Friday to target a fully-diluted valuation of up to $10 billion.

NEW YORK, May 12 (Reuters) - Data and marketing automation firm Klaviyo Inc confidentially submitted paperwork on Friday with U.S. regulators for an initial public offering (IPO) in New York, according to people familiar with the matter. While terms of the IPO have not yet been set, the Boston-based company is mulling a raise of at least $750 million in the listing, one of the sources said. The Wall Street Journal had reported in April that Klaviyo was preparing for an IPO. With the IPO registration, Klaviyo becomes the second high-profile name in recent weeks to press ahead with an offering, even as stock market volatility and economic uncertainty has put many other IPO hopefuls off. SoftBank Group Corp's (9984.T) Arm Ltd filed confidentially for its stock market listing in April, Reuters reported.
