StubHub, the renowned U.S. online ticketing platform, is setting the stage for a summer initial public offering (IPO), aiming for a valuation of $16.5 billion, as reported by CNBC. This anticipated valuation mirrors its worth during the last round of private funding in late 2021. Over the past two years, StubHub has been strategically aligning with financial giants JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs for the planned IPO.
