NetFlix Goes Public
from the at-the-top-of-the-range dept
Well, it's not often these days that you hear of a dot com going public, and even rarer to see the initial shares sold at the top of their expected price range. That suggests, at least, that there's been strong institutional demand for the offering. It raised NetFlix a cool $82.5 million to play around with. It will be interesting to see how the market reacts tomorrow when the shares get listed.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
