Sovcombank will hold an initial public offering of shares from December 1 to 14. The price range for titles will be from 10.5 to 11.5 rubles. This was reported to RB.RU by the bank’s press service.
This corresponds to Sovcombank’s market capitalization of 200 billion to 219 billion rubles and a multiplier of 2.2-2.4x P/E for 2023, excluding the expected fundraising for the IPO.
The bank has already received offers to participate in the placement “from several of the largest Russian institutional investors” for an amount of 50% of the size of the expected offer.
As part of the placement, the bank aims to raise 10 billion rubles. This is the first bank IPO in the country since 2015. It will be carried out under the cash-in scheme and does not involve significant dilution of shares. All funds raised will be used for further development of the business.
10 billion rubles is only 4% of the capital, but the strategy seems realistic given the current market conditions, experts previously suggested.
