3.4 IPO Impact on Share Value

Stock Exchange Listing Scenario (Year 5):

Before IPO:

Copy

Company Value (Year 5) = 5 × Annual Profit

                       = 5 × $23,880,000

                       = $119,400,000

 

Investor Share Value (65%) = $77,610,000

After IPO (3-5x Value Increase):

Copy

Market Value = $119,400,000 × 4 (average)

             = $477,600,000

 

Investor Share Value (65%) = $310,440,000

 

Value Increase = $310,440,000 - $77,610,000

               = $232,830,000
