Facebook will be released in IPO in early 2012

The other day in The Wall Street Journal appeared interesting information regarding the date of Facebook's IPO. This company’s entry into the stock exchange has been expected for quite some time, but so far the release date has been postponed all the time. Now the management of the social network has been determined, and the company will indeed become public in the first half of 2012 (the exact date is not determined, the time interval for entering the IPO is determined - from April to June 2012). In general, the wait is not so long.



“Sources close to the management” report that Facebook plans to receive about 10 billion IPOs, which can give the company a valuation of 100 billion US dollars. In general, back in June of this year, many experts estimated Facebook at about that amount. True, no less experts say that this is another “bubble”, and in fact the company is not worth so much.

Generally speaking, Facebook’s IPO will be one of the largest in history. Google in 2004 received a valuation of 23 billion US dollars when entering the stock exchange, which is about 4 times less than the planned Facebook valuation. In any case, it will be a very interesting event that can bring many surprises. Note that the recent entry of Groupon on the stock exchange was quite successful for this company. But almost immediately after entering the IPO, the company's shares began to fall in price, and now this decline continues.



Currently, there is still no clear decision from Facebook’s management on the date of the IPO, but it’s also good that at least a certain time interval has been defined for this event. The social network is still fairly stable, and the company has no particular problems, so we can expect that the initial estimate of the cost of Facebook may even grow by the beginning of next year.
