Brazil’s Nubank slashes IPO valuation to over $40 bln

Nov 30 (Reuters) – Nubank on Tuesday cut the expected price range of its U.S. initial public offering, reducing the Brazilian online lender’s targeted valuation by nearly $10 billion to up to $41.5 billion.

In an amended filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Sao Paulo-based company said it would now be looking to sell about 289.2 million shares priced between $8 and $9 each. It would raise $2.6 billion at the top end of the range.

Nubank had earlier planned to raise nearly $3 billion at a valuation of over $50 billion by selling shares at between $10 and $11 each.

The IPO market in the United States has been strong this year, but the detection of a possibly vaccine-resistant variant of the coronavirus sparked a broad selloff on Friday.

Markets have since eased as investors await more details on the variant, Omicron.
