Snowflake raised the largest initial public offering ever for a US software company, in the latest sign of Wall Street’s huge demand for cloud computing service businesses.
Snowflake创下美国软件企业有史以来规模最大的首次公开发行(IPO)，这是表明华尔街对云计算服务业务有巨大需求的最新迹象。
Investors agreed to purchase 28m shares of Snowflake stock valued at $120 apiece, said people briefed on the offering, raising about $3.4bn in proceeds for the cloud software company. That price would give the company a market capitalisation of more than $33bn, based on the number of shares outstanding.
听取相关发行简报的人士表示，投资者同意以每股120美元的价格购买2800万股Snowflake股票，这家云软件公司得以募资约34亿美元。按流通股数量计算，这个价格意味着该公司市值将超330亿美元。
Snowflake’s share price exceeded the company’s targeted range of $100 to $110, which itself was increased by more than a quarter earlier this week. The company’s market value is more than two-and-a-half times the $12.4bn valuation achieved in its most recent fundraising round in February. It declined to comment on the pricing.
Snowflake的发行价超过了该公司设定的100美元至110美元的目标区间，本周早些时候该公司将定价区间上调逾四分之一。Snowflake的市值达到了今年2月最近一轮融资实现的124亿美元估值的逾2.5倍。该公司拒绝就该定价置评。
