King sets sight for $7.6 billion IPO

3.9
King, the outfit behind Candy Crush Saga, is queued to launch on the NYSE on March 26th with a expected value of upwards to $7.6 billion. The published recorded revenues of 160 million in 2012 to a astounding $1.9 billion just one year later, the company is hoping to start trading at £21-$24 per share. King delayed their IPO last year in order to assure their investors that they were more than just Candy Crush.

Do you think King will succeed where Zygna failed and become more than a one trick pony?

Oh wow, 7.6 billion is a fair lot of money. I personally don't think that they will make any other great games unless they make have some amazing ideas though

I Definitely think they can get to 7.6 billion when the time limit hits good luck!

I don't think they'll fail like Zygna. If they live up to their word I can see them making an insane amount of money.

No, I don't think King will succeed in this. I don't think they will, they're gonna fail just like Zynga.

Not sure if everyone on this site will be too caring about stocks, but I don't think I'll be interested in anything they offer. But they might surprise and not end up like Zynga

Why didn't google just buy them out, all this stock nonsense for a stupid game.
