Slack surges 50 per cent in direct listing on New York Stock Exchange GlobeTechnology

The Slack logo displayed outside the New York Stock Exchange during the company's direct listing on June 20, 2019.The initial public offering of Slack Technologies Inc, the fast-growing workplace messaging and communication platform, opened at a price of $38.50 per share, valuing it at more than $23 billion, well above the $16 billion reference point set by the New York Stock Exchange.

“We think a direct listing is a more effective and efficient way to get to a normalized level of supply and demand without the constraints of an IPO,” said Allen Shim, Slack’s chief financial officer. Spotify’s direct listing in April 2018 was perceived as a success at the time, with a healthy number of buyers and sellers.

Revenues for the San Francisco-based Slack soared more than 80 per cent to $400 million in 2018, but it reported losses from operations of $143.85 million. It has more than 90 million users but so far has only around 100,000 paid customers.
