Stripe Inc. (Image: Shutterstock) Digital payments firm Stripe has hired Wall Street banks Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan to explore a public listing and alternatives to allow employees to cash out stakes in the private company, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. The move, communicated to Stripe employees in an internal memo earlier on Thursday, would give them an opportunity to sell shares in the company either to private investors or in a public market, the sources said. Either possibility would address the problem that some employee share options are coming up for expiry but Stripe shares are not currently listed. The aim is to have one arrangement or the other in place within a year, the sources said, adding that if private sales are arranged the buyers will cover tax costs. A 2021 round of fundraising valued Stripe at $95 billion, but the sources said the company had recently cut its own assessment of its value to $65 billion.

P/E of 1,000? Investors cautious over huge valuation of Mamaearth IPO
Gaurav Kapoor, a New Delhi-based stand-up comedian, has over a million subscribers on YouTube. His channel is full of daily vlogs and occasional stand-up videos. Kapoor is usually the one cracking one-liners. But when it comes to promoting Mamaearth’s products, he becomes the butt of jokes. Kapoor and other influencers have promoted Mamaearth products extensively since the company was incorporated in 2016. For the average YouTube viewer, the sheer number of ads of the then-fledgling brand would easily have got on one’s nerves. Mamaearth is the flagship brand of Honasa Consumer, a beauty and personal care company that plans to come out with an initial public offering. The company filed its draft IPO papers on December 30.

Adani report fallout: Banking, LIC shares crack
The Life Insurance Corp. of India headquarters in Mumbai. Photographer: Dhiraj Singh/Bloomberg Shares of Indian banks and Life Insurance Corp. of India plunged on Friday amid concerns about their exposure to the Adani Group following a scathing short-seller report. The NSE Bank Nifty Index extended declines of the previous session, underperforming broader stock benchmarks. Bank of Baroda and State Bank of India were among the biggest decliners. “Negative sentiment is prevailing in the market, which is weighing on bank stocks,” said Kranthi Bathini, chief market strategist at WealthMills Securities Pvt. “Some of it is due to worries about Adani collateral,” although there’s also a bout of profit-taking after the rally in recent months, he added. Indian banks have reported sterling results over the past weeks, with their quarterly profits soaring driven by scorching credit demand. That euphoria has now been overshadowed by the drama unfolding in the country after US … [Read more...] about Adani report fallout: Banking, LIC shares crack
Shilpa Shetty could make a killing from Mamaearth IPO. Here’s how
Honasa Consumer, parent of Mamaearth, is looking to raise Rs 400 crore through a fresh issue of shares, apart from an offer for sale of around 4.7 crore shares. “Valuation discovery is a process which will take place over time as we get into deeper conversations with investor community”. That was Mamaearth co-founder Ghazal Alagh’s response after the company faced #FinTwit’s ire for demanding a ‘sky-high, disastrous’ valuation for its public offering. Keeping Alagh’s comment aside, it is certain that Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty will be laughing all the way to the bank as her Rs 6.8 crore investment in the company will grow multi-fold. The question is by how much? Let’s assume that Mamaearth lists at Nykaa’s current market capitalisation-to-sales (or price-to-sales) valuation, given both are direct-to-consumer (D2C) companies in the beauty and personal care (BPC) space. Nykaa trades at 7.4 times P/S based on FY23 annualised sales. Honasa Consumer, parent of Mamaearth, … [Read more...] about Shilpa Shetty could make a killing from Mamaearth IPO. Here’s how
