Will Duluth and Truck Hero Get Fair IPO Prices?

Thinkstock

Many thought that the IPO market would face some pricing difficulty in Thursday’s session when both Square (NYSE: SQ) and Match Group Inc. (NASDAQ: MTCH) entered the market. However despite both companies pricing at the low end of their expected ranges, each has performed incredibly well for the first day of trading thus far.

If these two companies faced some sensitivity in their pricing, the IPO market as a whole would be a little shaky, and other companies set to price might suffer from the resulting valuations.

24/7 Wall St. has picked out a couple major IPOs to review that will be pricing soon, either expected Thursday afternoon or sometime in the very near future.

Duluth Holdings is expected to price its initial public offering on Thursday afternoon. The company expects to price its 6.67 million shares in the range of $14 to $16 per share, with an overallotment option for an additional 1.00 million shares. At the maximum price, the entire offering is valued up to $122.67 million. It intends to list its shares on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol DLTH.

The underwriters for Duluth’s offering are William Blair, Baird, Raymond James and BMO Capital Markets.
