StubHub Plans September IPO Amid Renewed Market Optimism
StubHub aims to launch its IPO in September after a delay earlier this year, reflecting growing confidence in the public markets.
StubHub is moving forward with plans to go public, with its IPO expected in September.
The online ticketing platform had initially filed to go public in March but paused its IPO plans in April following market uncertainty tied to new trade policies. Now, according to a recent filing with the SEC, the company is set to begin its IPO roadshow shortly after Labor Day, with shares expected to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol STUB.
StubHub reported first-quarter revenue of $397.6 million, a 10% increase compared to the same period last year. Despite the growth in revenue, the company posted a net loss of $35.9 million, up from $29.7 million a year earlier.
