Birla-owned Novelis targets up to $12.6 billion valuation in US IPO
Novelis, owned by Indian billionaire Kumar Mangalam Birla's Hindalco Industries, is targeting a valuation of up to $12.6 billion in its initial public offering in the United States, the aluminum products maker said on Tuesday.
The US IPO market has shown positive indications of a turnaround in 2024, after two sub par years, on hopes of rate cuts in the second half of the year and a soft landing for the economy.
The company said its parent is targeting to raise up to $945 million by offering 45 million shares at a price range of $18 and $21 each.
Novelis will list on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol 'NVL'.
Morgan Stanley, BofA Securities and Citigroup Global Markets are the lead underwriters for the offering.
