eToro makes its stock market debut with a valuation estimated at $4 billion, marking a strategic milestone for the renowned trading platform. Discover more about this groundbreaking IPO in our article!
Social trading platform eToro has reached a significant milestone by officially launching its IPO on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, under the symbol ETOR. The IPO aims to raise up to $500 million.
Recall: eToro made an unsuccessful attempt in 2022 through a SPAC, where the expected valuation exceeded $10 billion. This time, the Israeli company is aiming for a readjusted valuation of around $4 billion. A more measured market context, but potentially more favourable!
The IPO consists of 10 million common shares of Class A. They are evenly split between shares newly issued by eToro and those sold by existing shareholders. As for the indicative price range, it is set between $46 and $50 per share with an option for an additional 1.5 million shares to meet excess demand.
The support of major investment banks such as Goldman Sachs, Jefferies, UBS, and Citigroup enhances the operation’s credibility.
eToro relies on a strong growth momentum :
Good to know : A significant portion of eToro’s revenue (at 38%) comes from cryptocurrency trading, on par with traditional stocks. However, the platform anticipates a slight decrease in crypto revenue in 2025.
According to eToro, this is a direct result of increased regulatory scrutiny, especially in the United States and Europe (MiCA regulation). For example, in the United States, eToro has limited its crypto offering (BTC, BCH, and ETH) following an agreement with the SEC.
The eToro IPO comes at a time when IPOs are gradually resuming on a global scale. However, they are still being closely watched, especially in the technology sector and companies exposed to digital assets.
To convince the markets, eToro will have to demonstrate its ability to sustain profitable growth. But that’s not all! The company will also need to navigate skillfully in the global regulatory environment and differentiate itself from competitors like Robinhood.
The platform can, however, capitalize on its flagship features (including CopyTrader) to support its post-IPO development. Its strong international presence, particularly in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, is also a significant advantage.
In any case, eToro’s IPO on the Nasdaq marks a major strategic milestone in the platform’s evolution. That being said, the bet remains risky! Stay tuned…
