Pinterest has filed an S-1 form with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding its initial public offering (IPO). No pricing details were mentioned in the offering, but the offering is valued up to $100 million. The company intends to list its shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol PINS.
The underwriters for the offering are Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Allen, Merrill Lynch, Barclays, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, RBC Capital Markets, Baird, UBS Investment Bank and Wells Fargo.
This firm operates a social media site that is similar to an online scrapbook. Basically, Pinterest allows users to create a compilation of images and other media according to their interests, hobbies and so on. Then users may share their media or “pins” with other users.
Some companies have taken advantage of Pinterest’s opportunities as a means to captivate hobbyists and grow their own customer bases. The company recently developed a “Buy” button on the site that allows users to purchase goods from other companies through the Pinterest site.
