Talabat sold more than 4.65 billion shares at AED1.60\u00a0 ($0.44) per share. The sale of a 20% stake represents a market capitalization of around $10 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Berlin-based Delivery Hero decided to increase the size of the offering from 15% to 20%, citing robust demand.<\/p>\n<p>Tomaso Rodriguez, CEO of Talabat, a regional food ordering and convenience retail marketplace, confirmed that the offering garnered a double-digit oversubscription. \u201cIt is clear that Talabat\u2019s offering presented both international and local investors with a unique opportunity to gain exposure to a leading player in MENA\u2019s technology-driven and dynamic on-demand delivery market,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Talabat\u2019s IPO is the UAE\u2019s largest listing for 2024. Launched in Kuwait in 2004, the company is active in five of the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries as well as Egypt, Iraq and\u00a0 Jordan. It does not operate in Saudi Arabia. Talabat, which boasts six million active customers, expects proceeds from the offering to pay down Delivery Hero\u2019s debt, analysts say.<\/p>\n<p>But Talabat\u2019s December debut on the Dubai Financial Market was met with a subdued response, with shares sliding 7.5% on the first day of trading. This was due to its aggressive pricing, said George Pavel, general manager of trading app Naga Middle East. \u201cThe company and its underwriters priced the IPO at AED1.60, the top end of the marketed range, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 28 times\u2014significantly higher than the Dubai Financial Market General Index\u2019s average of nine times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That left no room for an upside move and likely led investors to question the valuation premium, he added.<\/p>\n<p>IPOs in the GCC have raised close to $12 billion in 2024. Investors have been attracted to GCC capital markets amid a dull outlook for IPOs in markets in the US and Europe.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Middle East subsidiary of Delivery Hero, Talabat, raised $2 billion from an initial public offering on Dec. 10.
