Yeah, at this point why would they IPO (except to get rich[er], of course)? Obviously they could grow in some unforeseen way, but if they don't have an ace up their sleeve, what business reason would they have for needing additional capital?
- rsuttongee 15y agoWell, there may or may not be a pressing business need for capital, but I'm sure a lot of the current shareholders would see an IPO as a good exit. I suppose it's possible that facebook could still be acquired, but given how large they are, and the huge amount of cash/stock it would require to buy them, that seems unlikely to me.
- sixtofour 15y agoToo big to float.
- ralfd 15y agoMajor point for an IPO: SEC regulation requires businesses with more than $10 million in assets and over 499 shareholders to go public.
