StubHub is eyeing a summer initial public offering, a person familiar with the matter told CNBC. The online ticketing service is aiming for a valuation of at least $16.5 billion, which is what it was valued at in late 2021 during its latest round of private funding. If StubHub does enter the public market, it will trade alongside competitors Vivid Seats and Live Nation . Vivid Seats has a market cap of $1.2 billion and Live Nation is valued at just under $24 billion, according to FactSet. StubHub, JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs all declined to comment about potential timing for an IPO.
