Klook Files for U.S. IPO, Targets NYSE Listing as 'KLK'

The SoftBank-backed travel platform cites accelerating growth to tap resurgent investor appetite for listings.

Overview

  • Klook disclosed 2024 revenue of $417.1 million, up 24.4% from 2023, in its F-1 filing.
  • Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and J.P. Morgan are named among the lead underwriters.
  • The company has not yet set the number of shares or the price range for the offering.
  • The plan comes as the U.S. IPO market shows renewed momentum on equity gains and rate cuts, though a prolonged government shutdown has caused delays that could affect timing.
  • Backed by SoftBank, Klook raised $100 million in February from Vitruvian Partners and competes with Booking.com, TripAdvisor, Trip.com and Yanolja.
