12月16日,電商公司Wish上市首日股價下跌了16%,與DoorDash和愛彼迎(Airbnb)在12月初剛上市時相比,其表現堪稱慘淡。
Wish首次公開募股籌集11億美元,22.75美元的開盤價就低于24美元的發行價。收盤時股價為20.05美元,在“完全稀釋”基礎上公司市值約為140億美元,其中也包括期權和限制性股票以及公告中列出的流通股。
彭博社(Bloomberg)整理的數據顯示,Wish是美國交易所今年第31家超過10億美元上市公司,卻是上市首日表現最差的一家。就在12月初,剛有兩起大規模上市案,即DoorDash和愛彼迎。DoorDash募集了31.4億美元,上市當日暴漲了86%,而愛彼迎上市募集38.3億美元,啟動綠鞋機制后首日收盤價上漲了113%。
Wish母公司ContextLogic的總部位于舊金山,首席執行官彼得?蘇爾澤維斯基在接受彭博電視臺(Bloomberg TV)采訪時表示,上市頭幾天和頭幾周市場波動很正常,公司的長期使命是服務熱愛價廉物美商品的用戶,網站也設計得適合消費者探索,股價波動并不會對此造成影響。
蘇爾澤維斯基說:“我們非常關注長期發展,如果眼光放遠,長期來看我們會獲得市場的回饋。”
投資者“教訓”
Renaissance Capital的IPO交易所交易基金負責人兼經理凱瑟琳?史密斯表示,上周DoorDash和愛彼迎的股價都有所下跌,可能也是Wish受到冷遇的原因之一。史密斯表示,12月初新上市公司的表現“給投資者上了一堂生動的打新課”。
如今,Wish同樣給投資者上了一課。雖然今年電商類股表現良好,但一些投資者把Wish跟亞馬遜比較,因為史密斯表示兩家公司的增長率相當接近。“如果我買了亞馬遜,為什么還要買Wish?”她補充道。
據知情人士透露,按IPO價格計算,Wish的2022年預期市銷率為4倍。彭博社數據顯示,亞馬遜的2021年預期市銷率為3.6倍,eBay則為3.37倍。而Wish的一位代表拒絕對此置評。
Wish的董事會成員,也是紀源資本(GGV Capital)的執行合伙人童士豪則表示并不擔心與亞馬遜競爭。“我做風投一直走反亞馬遜模式的路子。”他說。
童士豪還表示對第一天走勢并不擔心,指出去年Peloton Interactive Inc.上市首日股價下跌,目前股價超過上市價四倍。他說,紀源資本沒有出售Wish的股票,還將Wish與中國電商公司拼多多做比較,拼多多自2018年在美國上市以來股價已經上漲665%。他說,從實體連鎖企業Dollar General Corp.和Dollar Tree Inc.在股市的強勁表現就能夠看出這塊市場的潛力。
創紀錄的12月
12月16日,在線貸款機構Upstart Holdings Inc.上市首日上漲47%,此前公司將發行價定在區間下限,打算籌資2.4億美元。這家總部位于加州圣馬特奧的上市新貴首日收盤時市值21.4億美元。今年12月,在美國證交所上市的企業融資總額已經超過220億美元,創下歷年12月的新高。數據顯示,2020年企業上市融資總額已經超過1740億美元,也創下歷史新高。
還有兩家面向消費者的網絡公司也在準備上市,分別為在線視頻游戲公司Roblox Corp.和分期貸款提供商Affirm Holdings Inc.。Roblox告訴員工上市將推遲到明年。
Wish提交的文件顯示,公司跟其他電商的區別在于更關注重視價值的消費者。
Wish成立于2010年,創始人是蘇爾澤維斯基和張晟,兩人在位于加拿大安大略省的滑鐵盧大學(University of Waterloo)認識。從服裝到電子產品和廚房用品,Wish主要推動賣家與潛在買家聯系。根據Wish網站介紹,ContextLogic旗下還有其他在線市場,包括Geek、Mama、Home和Cute等。
銷售與虧損
Wish提交的文件顯示,新冠疫情期間Wish的虧損和銷售額都有所增加。今年前9個月收入17億美元,凈虧損1.76億美元,而2019年同期收入13億美元,凈虧損500萬美元。
本次發行由高盛集團(Goldman Sachs Group Inc.)、摩根大通(JPMorgan Chase & Co.)和美國銀行(Bank of America Corp.)牽頭。上市選在納斯達克全球精選市場(Nasdaq Global Select Market),股票代碼為WISH。(財富中文網)

Online retailer Wish fell 16% in its trading debut on December 16, in a more muted start to life as a public company than for DoorDash and Airbnb at early December.
Shares of Wish opened at $22.75 apiece, below the $24 they were sold for in its $1.1 billion initial public offering. The shares closed at $20.05, giving the company a value of at roughly $14 billion on a fully diluted basis, which includes options and restricted stock units as well as the outstanding shares listed in its filings.
Wish, the 31st on a U.S. exchange to exceed $1 billion this year, scored the worst debut of that group, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Its listing follows last week’s blockbuster trading debuts by DoorDash and Airbnb. DoorDash soared 86% after its $3.14 billion offering, while Airbnb closed its first day up 113% after a $3.83 billion IPO including so-called greenshoe shares.
Market volatility should be expected in the first few days and weeks of trading and won’t detract from the company’s long-term focus on serving bargain-hunters on a site designed for shopper discovery, Peter Szulczewski, chief executive officer of San Francisco-based Wish parent ContextLogic, said in a Bloomberg TV interview.
“We’re very much focused on the longer term,” Szulczewski said. “If we just focus on that, in the long run the markets will reward us.”
Investor ‘Lesson’
Shares of both DoorDash and Airbnb have fallen this week, which may have been a factor in the lukewarm reception for Wish, said Kathleen Smith, principal and manager of IPO exchange traded funds at Renaissance Capital. Smith said the performance of last week’s listings “teaches investors a lesson” about buying at the open.
Wish is also part of a competitive landscape. While e-commerce stocks have traded well this year, some investors compare Wish to Amazon.con Inc., which Smith said has a similar growth rate. “If I can own Amazon, why should I own Wish?” she added.
At its IPO price, Wish would trade at about four times its projected 2022 sales, according to a person familiar with the matter. Amazon trades at 3.6 times its 2021 sales estimates, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. EBay Inc. trades at 3.37 times the same metric. A representative for Wish declined to comment.
Wish board member Hans Tung, a managing partner at GGV Capital, said he isn’t worried about competition with Amazon. “I made my living as a venture capitalist who bet on being anti-Amazon,” he said.
Tung said he also wasn’t concerned about the the first day of trading. He noted that Peloton Interactive Inc., in which he was also an investor, fell in its debut last year and is now trading at more than four times its IPO price. GGV isn’t selling any shares in Wish, he said. Tung compared Wish to Pinduoduo Inc., the Chinese e-commerce company that has risen 665% since its 2018 U.S. debut. The strong stock market performance of brick-and-mortar chains Dollar General Corp. and Dollar Tree Inc. show the potential for the niche, he said.
Record December
Online lender Upstart Holdings Inc. rose 47% in its trading debut on December 16 after pricing its IPO at the bottom of a marketed range to raise $240 million. Upstart, based in San Mateo, California, closed its first day with a market value of $2.14 billion. More than $22 billion has now been raised in IPOs on U.S. exchanges in December -- a record for the month. The 2020 total is now more than $174 billion, also an all-time high, the data show.
Two other consumer-oriented, web-based companies, online video-game company Roblox Corp. and installment loans provider Affirm Holdings Inc., are also pursuing IPOs. Roblox told its employees that it was delaying its IPO until next year.
Wish differentiates from other online retailers by focusing on value conscious consumers, according to its filings.
Founded in 2010 by Szulczewski and Danny Zhang, who met at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, Wish connects sellers to potential buyers of everything from clothing to electronic goods and kitchenware. ContextLogic owns other online marketplaces, including Geek, Mama, Home and Cute, according to the Wish website.
Sales, Losses
Wish’s losses, as well as its sales, have increased during the coronavirus pandemic, according to its filings. It had a net loss of $176 million on revenue of $1.7 billion during the first nine months of this year, compared with a net loss of $5 million on revenue of $1.3 billion during the same period in 2019.
The offering was led by Goldman Sachs Group Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Bank of America Corp. The shares are trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol WISH.
