TL;DRBending Spoons is pricing its US IPO at $26 to $28 per share, seeking up to $1.62B at a $19B valuation with an early-July debut.
Bending Spoons, the Italian software company that acquires and restructures digital businesses, is seeking to raise as much as $1.62 billion in its US initial public offering, Reuters reported on Monday. The company plans to market 58 million shares at $26 to $28 each, with an early-July debut on the Nasdaq under the ticker BSP.
At the top of the price range, Bending Spoons would carry a valuation of roughly $19 billion, according to people familiar with the matter cited by Reuters. That represents a significant jump from the $11 billion pre-money valuation the company achieved when it raised $710 million in late 2025, in a round backed by T. Rowe Price, Baillie Gifford, Fidelity, and Durable Capital Partners.
About 60 percent of the IPO shares are expected to come from the company as primary stock, with the remainder sold by existing shareholders including Baillie Gifford. Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and Allen & Co are leading the offering.
The listing would be one of the largest IPOs by a European company this year and a rare public market test for a major software firm at a time when artificial intelligence is reshaping business models across the sector. BNP Paribas recently argued that the wave of US mega-IPOs from SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic would pull European tech companies toward public markets, and Bending Spoons is now the most prominent example of that thesis in action.
