Na de IPO van Grindr op 18-11 stond het aandeel op de peik even boven de 70 dollar met slot rond 36.

Maandag ging daar bijna de helft af met slot rond 19 en gisteren ging daar nog eens bijna 40 procent af met een slot van ruim 12 eur.

IK verwacht vandaag fors herstel! Hironder nog wat artikelen die ik over Grind heb kunnen vinden.

Shares in gay dating app Grindr shot up more than 300 per cent in its public markets debut after completing a merger with a special purpose acquisition company, making it one of the few businesses over the past year to have its stock price pop following a Spac deal.

Shortly after Grindr executives rang the bell at the New York Stock Exchange on Friday, the stock leapt from an opening price of $16.90 to $71.51.

The jump was likely because few shares were being traded on the market after 99 per cent of shareholders opted to redeem their investment in the Spac following the deal’s completion. Spacs are listed vehicles set up to acquire target companies and take them public, and shareholders have the right to redeem their investment when they approve the merger.

Grindr announced in May it had agreed to go public through a merger with Tiga Acquisition Corp, a Spac set up by Ashish Gupta in 2020. The deal gave the business an implied valuation of $2.1bn and an expected $384mn in proceeds that the company said it would use a significant portion of to pay down debt.

With almost all of the shareholders opting to redeem their investments, Grindr will only receive a nominal sum of the $284mn in proceeds from Tiga Acquisition's initial public offering. It has a $100mn forward purchase agreement in place with the Spac’s backer that will make up for some of the shortfall. Grindr’s shares pared gains to close at $36.50, still up more than double.

Grindr announced a new management team in September as it readied for the public listing. George Arison, founder of online car sales company Shift, was named chief executive and started his role last month. Vanna Krantz, who was previously chief financial officer at fintech company Passport and Disney Streaming Services, took up the same role at Grindr.

Spacs, which had largely lurked in the backwaters of finance since the 2008 crisis, made a roaring comeback during the pandemic. Investors ploughed billions of dollars into blank-cheque companies and the pace of dealmaking created chaos on Wall Street as banks and lawyers tried to find enough resources to meet demand.

But blank-cheque companies have since fallen out of favour because of a number of high-profile failures and low demand from investors who found better returns elsewhere. Even with an IPO market that has largely been closed, Spacs have failed to make a comeback.

Grindr found itself at the centre of a political storm in 2019, when the US government forced app owner Beijing Kunlun Tech to sell it on concerns that it threatened national security. The Spac deal gave Grindr a valuation that is more than triple what San Vicente Acquisition paid to acquire it from the Chinese gaming and technology company.

BAS VAN DER HOUT
21 november 2022 22:15
De gay-datingapp Grindr ging vrijdag maal drie bij zijn beursintroductie, maar ging maandag weer door de helft. Disney zag zijn beurswaarde 10 miljard dollar stijgen na een nieuwe 'oude' CEO. Wall Street sloot lager door zorgen over China.

De Amerikaanse beurzen noteerden in het rood. Beleggers zijn somber gestemd omdat China deze week de eerste coronadoden in zes maanden gerapporteerd heeft. Die mededeling lijkt gepaard te gaan met aanhoudende draconische regionale lockdowns. Dat is een streep door de rekening van beleggers die dachten dat het wel zou minderen met die zeer strenge Chinese lockdownregels.

Beleggers keken ook naar de olieprijs. Eerder op de dag zakte die stevig. Dat was deels door de Chinese zorgen, maar vooral omdat The Wall Street Journal meldde dat er in de OPEC+ discussie zou zijn over een verhoging van de olieproductie. Maar de olieprijs herstelde stevig nadat Saoedi-Arabië de berichten had ontkend.

Uiteindelijk dus dubbel negatief nieuws, waardoor de graadmeters lager gingen. De S&P500 beperkte de schade tot 0,4 procent, maar de techbeurs Nasdaq
leverde 1,1 procent in.

De datingapp Grindr was vrijdag blijkbaar woest aantrekkelijk bij Amerikaanse beleggers. Hij trok naar de beurs via het blancochequebedrijf Tiga Acquisition. Het aandeel van Tiga ging vrijdag drie keer hoger. Doordat 98 procent van de bestaande investeerders hun stukken vasthielden, zijn nu minder dan 500.000 aandelen vrij verhandelbaar. Door het lage aantal verhandelbare aandelen zijn grote koersschommelingen mogelijk, wat in toenemende mate normaal is bij voormalige blancochequebedrijven. Het aandeel kreeg maandag een koude douche van 45 procent en dook onder 18 dollar.

Door de grote koersschommelingen was vrijdag zeker 17 keer een handelsonderbreking nodig. Het aandeel sloot drie keer hoger op 36,50 dollar, maar stond eerder op de dag zelfs op 71,52 dollar.

GRINDR KNALT HOGER BIJ BEURSGANG
De koers van Grindr verdrievoudigde vrijdag ten opzichte van de slotkoers donderdag van het blancochequebedrijf waarmee het naar de beurs trok.
De app is vooral bij homomannen razend populair om een date te versieren. Grindr geeft weer wie in je buurt ook een account heeft, waardoor het makkelijk is om contact te leggen. Best handig, omdat de kans dat je als homoman toevallig een andere homoman tegenkomt kleiner is dan bij hetero's. Datingapps zoals Tinder zijn bovendien ook bij hetero's buitengewoon populair, mee door het gebruiksgemak.

Shares of Grindr, the LGBTQ-focused dating and hookup app, skyrocketed more than 400% during its first day of public trading on Friday.

The company first announced its intention to go public back in March as part of a merger with Tiga Acquisition Corp., a blank check company, as part of a deal that values the combined company at $2.1 billion. The merger provided Grindr with an estimated $384 million, which the company is expected to use to pay down its debt and strengthen its balance sheet, as Bloomberg previously reported.

On Friday, Nov. 18, Grindr Inc. debuted on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols GRND and GRND.WS. Within hours, its stocks, which debuted at $16.90 at 9:30 a.m., increased more than 400%, hitting a high of $71.51 around midday, according to MarketWatch. The stock ultimately closed at $36.50, a 214% increase from where it started.

Grindr CEO George Arison, who began his tenure last month, cited the successful debut as a reflection of broader inclusion of LGBTQ people, both in the finance world and in the larger society.

“It’s a pretty incredible thing that the company whose primary user base is gay and bisexual men, built by and for the LGBTQ population, with an employee base that is heavy in that cohort of the population as well, is now going public,” he said in a statement. “It’s not something that would not have happened 20 years ago, probably wouldn’t have happened even 10 years ago.”

Despite a solid opening day, Grindr could face difficulties associated with the current bear market. Tech stocks in general have taken a dive, with information technology and communication sectors down 24.5% and 37.8%, respectively, this year.

Grindr also goes public at a time when other dating apps are flailing, with the dating apps Bumble and Match down 31.7% and 64.9%, respectively, since the beginning of the year.

The app may also soon face a challenge from newer apps like Motto, a new, unlisted platform created by Grindr founder Joel Simkhai, who left Grindr five years ago. Motto seeks to match customers based on common likes or interests, rather than Grindr’s interface, where customers have to scroll through rows of profiles to make a connection with someone.

Arison told CNBC that Grindr will try to separate itself from other dating apps by pitching itself as a social network, providing app users with LGBTQ-themed resources on serious health and social topics, including HIV and monkeypox prevention and voter engagement.

Arison has said the app will look into expanding monetizable offerings, like subscriptions and profile “boosting,” where a person can pay extra to have their profile noticed or pushed to the front of the “nearby” grid for a set amount of time, in the hope of attracting potential admirers. He also floated the idea of travel recommendations to enhance users’ experiences.

Arison added that Grindr is unique because its high brand awareness among a niche market, which allows the company to spend less than 1% of revenue on marketing.

Last year, Grindr enjoyed a user base of about 11 million daily users per day last year. Those users sent a combined 260 million messages during that period, and spent an average of 61 minutes per day on the platform. The company estimates the value of its “highly engaged user base in a large and untapped addressable market” at approximately $4 billion, reports CNBC.

Wat denken jullie ? Vandaag fors herstel??

winstrader 23 november 2022 15:11

Nog twintig minuten voor opening! heb er zin an!

DubbeltjeblijftDubbeltje 23 november 2022 15:21

Met een omzet van 145 mln in 2021, lijkt de huidige marktwaarde van 2 mlrd zwaar overtrokken.

Bovendien is de Grindr-app redelijk brak in gebruik.
Tja , hoe weet ik dat.

Ik zal 'm volgen, dit soort aandelen zijn toch wel de jeu. Ook al is het risico natuurlijk erg hoog.
Ik heb er ook zo een paar die steeds maar op en neer vliegen en waar ik klein in zit.
En een paar groot, mijn belangrijkste lessen na 2 jaar actief beleggen: dat soort posities klein houden.

Ik gedraag me wel als een 'dode belegger', doe dus niets. Ik geloof bijvoorbeeld nog wel in Xpeng bijvoorbeeld.
