Swedish Fintech Klarna took the next step in the US IPO, which is very expected on Friday when the F-1 guide was released on Friday. We are looking at the document now.
KLARARNA, along with APO last week, hopes to raise at least $ 1 billion with $ 15 billion, Bloomberg reported last week. The open document has not yet revealed the number of shares or prices to sell yet, so it is not known whether this IPO will meet the fundraising. It is usually more than a month, sometimes after the potential documents are released so that everyone can chew.
But since this IPO has been expected for several years, bankers will probably have evidence that investors will be bitten at that level.
It may be because Klarna’s previous private evaluation rebounded to $ 14.6 billion after one investor increased its stake.
The other is that Clana reports profits. In particular, Klana recorded sales of $ 2.8 billion in 2024 in 2024 in 2024, and net profit of $ 22 million in 2024 due to a loss of $ 240 million.
Founded by CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski as of 2005, Klarna is one of some players who currently offer Buy. Since its launch in the United States in 2015, KLARNA received more than $ 4.5 billion in heavy rating by 2021 when the venture capital valuation bubble broke out in 2021.
KLARARNA recently delivered news about developing its own AI system based on Openai’s CHATGPT and said Salesforce CRM withdrew its contract to use the internal system.
SIEMIATKOWSKI said that the CHATGPT -based customer service bot, which was grown, replaced 700 regular contractors with about $ 40 million a year. He said that KLARNA actively stopped employment due to the use of AI, reducing it from 5,000 in 2023 to 3,500 by the end of 2023.
