Facebook花落納斯達(dá)克
|
????據(jù)報(bào)道，F(xiàn)acebook已選擇在納斯達(dá)克（NASDAQ）進(jìn)行首次公開(kāi)募股。此前幾個(gè)月（甚至更長(zhǎng)的一段）時(shí)間里，納斯達(dá)克和競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手紐交所（NYSE）一直在爭(zhēng)奪Facebook。 ????對(duì)許多人來(lái)說(shuō)，F(xiàn)acebook選擇納斯達(dá)克順理成章。納斯達(dá)克是高新技術(shù)企業(yè)的圣地，絕大部分第一代互聯(lián)網(wǎng)公司最終都選擇了納斯達(dá)克。不過(guò)在過(guò)去幾年，紐交所也取得了很大進(jìn)展。納斯達(dá)克多年來(lái)一直在提供許多頗具特色的服務(wù)，而紐交所現(xiàn)在也越來(lái)越多地開(kāi)始提供這些服務(wù)。 ????我們來(lái)看看下面的圖表。它詳細(xì)列出了過(guò)去10年，由風(fēng)險(xiǎn)投資所支持的高新技術(shù)公司在兩大股票交易所的首次公開(kāi)募股情況。 |
????Facebook reportedly has chosen to list its shares on the NASDAQ, after having been wooed for months (if not longer) by both NASDAQ and rival exchange NYSE. ????To many, this likely sounds like a no-brainer. NASDAQ has built its franchise on technology companies, and almost all of the Internet's first generation ended up there. Over the past couple of years, however, the NYSE has been making significant inroads, particularly as it tries to offer more and more of the supplemental services that NASDAQ has featured for years. ????Just take a look at the following chart, which tracks new listings of venture capital-backed information technology companies. |
來(lái)源：湯森路透

????沒(méi)錯(cuò)：2012年，由風(fēng)投支持的高新技術(shù)企業(yè)多選擇在紐交所、而不是納斯達(dá)克進(jìn)行首次公開(kāi)募股。而且湯森路透（Thomson Reuters）所計(jì)算的紐交所公司數(shù)量還未將點(diǎn)評(píng)網(wǎng)站Yelp包括在內(nèi)，這是因?yàn)閅elp在融資后期接受了來(lái)自私募股權(quán)公司Elevation Partners的投資（我猜測(cè)現(xiàn)在情況已經(jīng)變了，因?yàn)镋levation Partners也投資了Facebook），不然，兩者的差距還會(huì)更大。 ????當(dāng)然，F(xiàn)acebook牽手納斯達(dá)克或?qū)楹笳邘?lái)些許光環(huán)效應(yīng)，吸引到更多的高新技術(shù)企業(yè)。不過(guò)在去年，我們看到了商務(wù)社交網(wǎng)站LinkedIn選擇紐交所，而團(tuán)購(gòu)網(wǎng)站Groupon和社交游戲公司Zynga選擇了更“傳統(tǒng)的”納斯達(dá)克。換句話而言，不是每家公司都會(huì)隨大流。 ????所以，雖然紐交所這次不走運(yùn)，但絕不意味著它今年將無(wú)緣高新技術(shù)企業(yè)。 ????譯者：項(xiàng)航 |
????That's right: More VC-backed tech companies have gone public on the NYSE in 2012 than on the NASDAQ. And that discrepancy would be even larger if Thomson Reuters included Yelp (YELP) in its figures -- but it gets excluded due to a later-stage private equity investment from Elevation Partners (my guess is that changes, since Elevation also invested in Facebook). ????There's a decent chance that Facebook may have a bit of halo affect on NASDAQ for future tech issuers, but just last year we saw LinkedIn (LNKD) pick NYSE while both Groupon (GRPN) and Zynga (ZNGA) stayed more "traditional." In other words, not everyone follows the pack. ????So a bad day for NYSE, but certainly not the end of its new listings year. |
