Agibank Raises $240 Million in Scaled-Back NYSE IPO Priced at $12

Investor caution after PicPay’s slump prompted the Brazilian lender to pursue conservative pricing with a primary-only deal.

Overview

  • The São Paulo-based digital bank sold 20 million shares at $12 each, implying a $1.92 billion valuation.
  • Tuesday’s amended SEC filing cut the deal from roughly 43.6 million shares at $15–$18 to 20 million at $12–$13.
  • Analysts say the fully primary offering limits immediate insider selling yet could create a future stock overhang.
  • Recent weakness in newly listed peer PicPay, down about 20% since its January debut, weighed on investor appetite.
  • Agibank is set to trade on the NYSE under ticker AGBK today, with Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Citigroup as global coordinators.
