The IPO (initial public offer) space is getting back on its feet this year, after having clocked listings of 173 companies on public exchanges in just under 9 months. The number trumps those recorded last year, 160 companies, and in 2016, 105 IPOs.
In the second-quarter of 2018, over 60 companies went public which was the highest number in over 3 years. Companies raked in excess of $45.7B in the first 9 months of 2018, significantly up from $31.1B in the same period last year.
Here, we look at 5 of the highly anticipated IPO’s in 2019.
Uber
Uber is pitched as one of the most popular car aggregator globally. While its current valuation is around $72B, the company might be valued at $120B when it goes public in 2019.
This will mean Uber is valued higher than Ford [F], General Motors [GM] and Fiat Chrysler combined. It also indicates a premium of 67% from Uber’s current valuation.
Goldman Sachs [GS] and Morgan Stanley [MS] are leading investment banks that might take the company public. It will be interesting to see if investors line up for a company that has posted losses in every quarter since inception.
Airbnb has been profitable on an EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) basis for a while now and is not burning money compared to other tech start-ups.
The company is eyeing an IPO and has set a goal of June 30, 2019, to be “IPO Ready”. Airbnb might generate sales between $3.5B and $4B in 2018.
Total Funding: $4.4B
Valuation: 31B
Deliveroo
Deliveroo is a UK-based company and is one of the country’s hottest and most valuable startups. Started by a former investment banker, the company is an end-to-end food delivery service that connects local restaurants with customers.
There have been talks about Uber acquiring Deliveroo to integrate the same with the Uber Eats vertical. Deliveroo is another company that might go public in 2019.
Total Funding: $1B
Valuation: 2B
DJI
DJI is the largest drone manufacturer globally. It is dedicated to make aerial photography, filmmaking more accessible. DJI’s products are available in over 100 countries.
Earlier this year, DJI was planning to raise between $500M and $800M ahead of its stock market debut.
I was looking around Google for an old article on tax strategies and this five-year old video of myself happened to pop up.
I’m interviewing a tax expert about how real estate investors avoid paying taxesin perpetuity—AND how everyday citizens can do the same thing.
(Real estate—our TEMPLE I and TEMPLE II projects included—has a number of tax benefits savvy investors have capitalized on for years, including Opportunity Zone breaks and 10-year tax abatements.)
There’s the 1031 exchange, of course, which I’ve shared with you guys before.
Just to refresh your memory, the 1031 Exchange allows you to roll over gains from your last project into a new property TAX FREE—as long as said property is worth the same or more.
But there’s ANOTHER TAX LOOPHOLE that can take your portfolio to an entirely new level by splitting your capital gains into MULTIPLE properties.
PS: In our next update, I’m going to break down how real estate moguls get paid from their properties…tax free. 👀 PPS: If you want to learn how to implement generational wealth strategies like this one, you can join our NYCE wealth academy (TRIBE U) here.
If there’s anything the pandemic taught us, it’s that the paradigm of “office” and “workspace” has been shaken to its CORE.
Universities are teaching via Zoom, court dates are done virtually, FULLY REMOTE businesses are valued at $1B+, and legitimate Inc. 5000 startups are run from…wherever. 📲
This is my office for the day…
I am actually running our business from the beach, typing this from here.
It’s 4:28 pm CET, which means it’s 10:28 am EST and I am CRUSHING my to-do list.
(And the team will continue to crush it while I’m asleep. That’s the 🗝)
Having team members in all the main time zones gives us a 24-hour work cycle vs. 9-5/eight-hour on-the-clock performance.
This means we get 3x the productivity of a similar company. 🔥
Let me repeat that…3x PRODUCTIVITY vs. our competitors.
Meanwhile our project management software grants us 24-hour TEAM-WIDE connectivity that tracks all tasks and lets us know if productivity dips even a little bit.
There is ALWAYS someone senior awake. It could be Martin in Barcelona…Nat in New York…Vineet & Arif in New Delhi.
Well, the first step is to have an actual side hustle you’re launching. Not just an idea, a validated business.
MAJOR KEY: Do NOT spend money until you’ve made your FIRST DOLLAR! 🗝🗝🗝🗝
(You can catch a replay Business Launch masterclass here and see TRIBE member Nessa launched her business on the spot and got her first $45K client shortly after.)
One of the easiest ways to start is with Airbnb—you can start that in 10 minutes. Literally. (Here’s a guide if you need it.)
Once you have your business, you build a virtual infrastructure (you really just need two softwares, which are FREE), manage the team accordingly and run the business from there.
