Navan Falls 20% After $923 Million IPO Using Shutdown-Era SEC Auto-Approval

The trading slump underscores a valuation reset alongside uncertainty from a listing process that may face later SEC review.

Overview

  • Navan priced its offering at $25 per share and began trading on Nasdaq under the ticker NAVN after selling about 36.9 million shares.
  • The deal raised roughly $923 million, including around 30 million new Class A shares, with about 6.9 million shares sold by existing holders from which Navan receives no proceeds.
  • The IPO implied a valuation near $6.2 billion, below the $9.2 billion private valuation the company reached in 2022.
  • The company was the first to list using an SEC shutdown auto-effectiveness mechanism, which allows later regulatory scrutiny of its disclosures.
  • Navan highlights AI-driven travel and expense tools, reporting $613 million in trailing 12‑month revenue and continued net losses in its S-1.
