????阿里巴巴（Alibaba）的IPO有望成為美國歷史上最大的一次IPO。如果阿里巴巴的發行價達到60-66美元價格區間的高端，那么它的融資額將達到211億美元。

????作為中國互聯網零售的先驅，阿里巴巴輝煌的增長前景已經被報道得夠多了，投資者們也蜂擁排隊，準備購股。阿里巴巴在招股書中寫道，該公司目前有2.79億位線上顧客，他們在阿里巴巴旗下網站的消費達到了近3000億美元。以這個標準看，阿里巴巴可能是全球最大的在線移動銷售商，因此它的IPO受到熱捧是合理的。

????美國有史以來最大的IPO

????根據彭博社（Bloomberg）的數據，阿里巴巴的IPO或許將成為美國市場有史以來規模最大的一次，甚至打敗Visa在2008年創下的179億美元的融資紀錄。就連谷歌（Google）和亞馬遜（Amazon）這樣優秀的公司也沒能問鼎過IPO的排行榜。

????Alibaba is on track to potentially become the largest U.S. initial public offering ever. If the Chinese Internet giant prices at the high end of its $60 to $66 a share range, it will bring in $21.1 billion.

????Much has been touted about the company’s brilliant growth potential as it pioneers Internet retail in China, and investors have already flocked to get into the deal. In its prospectus Alibaba says it has 279 million online customers who spend nearly $300 billion on the company’s sites. By those metrics, it would be the largest online and mobile seller in the world — and its IPO hype would be justified.

????The biggest U.S. IPO

????Alibaba’s massive offering would put it at the top of the biggest-ever U.S. IPO list, beating out Visa , which currently holds the record after it raised $17.9 billion in 2008, according to Bloomberg data. Standout tech companies such as Google and Amazon don’t even make the list.

????如果銀行家們選擇銷售更多股份，阿里巴巴的IPO總額可能躍升到243億美元，從而打破中國農業銀行（Agricultural Bank of China）創下的紀錄，成為全球范圍內規模最大的IPO。

????市值

????如果阿里巴巴的發行價處在價格區間的高位，此次IPO或將把它的市值推升到1627億美元，屆時其市值甚至要高于亞馬遜，但是仍然不到谷歌的一半。

????And if the bankers choose to execute an option to sell more shares, Alibaba’s IPO sum could jump to $24.3 billion, beating out Agricultural Bank of China to become the biggest IPO worldwide.

????Market capitalization

????At the high end of its IPO price range, Alibaba would bring in enough money to give it a market capitalization of $162.7 billion. That would make it larger than Amazon, but less than half the size of Google’s massive market value.
