(New: closing course)
New York (dpa -AFX) – The Klarna payment service started with a solid course plan during its IPO in New York. The share completed the first trading day with an increase of 14.55 percent to $ 45.82. The company from Sweden achieved an evaluation of a good $ 17 billion.
The first course was even clearer above the issue price of $ 40 at $ 52. Klarna had taken around $ 1.37 billion in stock placement (1.17 billion euros), which almost exclusively go to previous shareholders.
The issue price was above the targeted range of $ 35 to $ 37. According to information from the Bloomberg financial service, demand was significantly higher than the supply.
Klarna is primarily known for the offer to be able to pay for purchases with delay. This service accounts for 97 percent of the business, said Klarna boss Sebastian Siemiatkowski in the US broadcaster CNBC. At the same time, he sees good chances of moving deeper into the credit card business.
In a financing round in 2021, the Japanese Group Softbank invested in the company, according to media reports, based on an overall rating of a good $ 45 billion. A year later, the evaluation of a money injection fell to $ 6.7 billion
