Great News For Porsche

Porsche’s initial public offering (IPO) will likely take place at the high end of the current valuation range. 

Key Details

  • Porsche will be closing the offer period on September 28, having opened stock to investors from Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland. 
  • The shares are being marketed between $73.46 to $79.22, which values Porsche at over $72 billion.
  • “Volkswagen AG is likely to price the 9.4 billion-euro ($9.1 billion) initial public offering of sports-car maker Porsche AG at the top end of an initial range, demonstrating the depth of demand for its share sale,” says Bloomberg. 
  • “The company is expected to set the final IPO offer price after the order book closes Wednesday.”
  • Last Tuesday, the stock was opened and exceeded investor expectations, covering the full $94 billion public offering. 
  • Porsche says it aims for a listing on the Frankfurt stock exchange on Thursday, September 29.

Why it’s news

Exceeded expectations are good news for Porsche, which was hoping to raise capital through the sale. 

“Porsche’s listing is injecting fresh life into an IPO market that’s been shut for most of the year with investors spooked by rising inflation, interest rates, and the threat of a global recession,” says Bloomberg. 

As we previously reported, Volkswagen announced in early September that it would be hosting an initial public offering on Porsche stock. Analysts estimated it could value Porches between $59.8 to $84.6 billion. Only 12.5% of IPO shares were to become available to investors. 

The increased capital for VW could be a valuable asset as the global economy adapts automotive technology to the demands of the Green Economy. The sale could become a major factor in pushing forward the auto manufacturer’s goals of pushing more electric and self-driving cars.

Like many automakers, Porsche is working to adapt its line of cars to emissions-free models within the next two decades. 

The IPO also gives the Porsche family an opportunity to retake control of the company after losing authority in 2009.

Investors Seek Safer Options

The financial chaos of the past two weeks has turned investors toward safer investments—such as money market funds—and away from banks. 

Key Details

  • Money market funds are high-liquidity investment funds with very low risk, as they are sponsored by an investment fund company and insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
  • In the aftermath of the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, investors have rotated their portfolios and shifted $286 billion in the past two weeks, according to a report from the Financial Times. 
  • iMoney.net data reported on Friday shows the majority of these investments went towards Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and Fidelity, many into funds that hold U.S. government debt, which are considered safe investments.  
  • This marks the largest inflow for these investments since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

AppleTV+ is shifting its attention from streaming exclusivity to the releasing first-run feature films into the theaters. 

Key Details

  • Apple is planning to spend $1 billion annually to produce theatrically released films, anonymous sources tell Bloomberg. 
  • This marks a change for AppleTV+ plus, which has exclusively released its content on its streaming service, a move that could bring greater brand awareness to the smaller platform. 
  • The company already has several high-profile exclusives set to release this year, including Martin Scorsese’s Killers Of the Flower Moon and Ridley Scott’s Napoleon—which could see these potential Oscar contenders receiving theatrical releases. 
  • AppleTV+ reportedly has between 20 million and 40 million subscribers, making it one of the smaller contenders in the “streaming wars.”
