Any idea about their valuation? Facebook is now worth more or less what they claimed at the time of their IPO. Is it safe to assume this is will be around the same range (i.e., $100b)?
- ikarandeep 13y agoThe last round of funding came in at around a 10B valuation. I would expect the valuation to be much greater this time.
- muzz 13y agoNot necessarily. Zynga came public at about the same valuation as its last round, so that's not always the case. One of the criticisms of SarBox is that companies go public much later in their maturity, so public investors miss out on much of the market cap growth.

- ganeumann 13y agoSix months ago eMarketer estimated that Twitter's 2013 revenue will be about $582 million and 2014 revenue about $1 billion (http://www.emarketer.com/Article/Twitter-Forecast-Up-After-Strong-Mobile-Showing/1009763 http://www.emarketer.com/Article/Twitter-Forecast-Up-After-S...). Facebook's market cap as I write this is $109 billion, and 2014 revenue estimates are ~$11 billion (sorry, I don't have the source for that handy), so it trades at about 10x 2014 revenue. Using this metric would value Twitter at $10 billion. But I expect that Twitter has more room to grow than Facebook since they haven't monetized as heavily yet. I'm guessing Twitter goes out at $15 billion to $20 billion. Disclaimer: I own some Twitter shares, so I'm not objective.
