With the Australian Open in full swing (don't sleep on my guy Ben Shelton 🇺🇸), this news couldn't be more appropriately timed. Global sporting equipment company Amer Sports, perhaps best known for manufacturing the widely used Wilson brand tennis rackets, is seeking a valuation of approximately $10 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧, and eyeing a $1 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐏𝐎 by month's end. This would mark the first billion-dollar IPO of the year and the largest since BIRKENSTOCK early in 4Q 2023. Guiding this headlining transaction are the dynamic #CapitalMarkets teams at Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as counsel for Amer, and Latham & Watkins as underwriters' counsel. As the first 10-figure #IPO of 2024, I'm sure investors will be following this closely to gauge whether or not the strong rally to close 2023 will carry into the new year and push the IPO market into a full-blown resurgence. https://lnkd.in/emCzhSye
