iXL Enterprises soars in debut (Reuters) - E-commerce consultant IXL Enterprises Inc (Nasdaq: IIXL) shares jumped as much as 100 percent after their public debut Thursday in an offering analysts considered successful, taking into account the highly competitive Web stocks market. Shares jumped 3-3/4 to 15-3/4, but soon rose as high as 24-1/2, or more than double the offer price, after the company's initial public offering. The company priced 6 million shares at $12 a piece on Wednesday after the market close with the help of lead underwriter Merrill Lynch. "It did reasonably well considering the market and the highly competitive environment," said Peony Kao at Renaissance Capital's IPO Plus Aftermarket Fun. Kao mentioned Razorfish Inc. and Scient Corp. as two of the recently gone public main competitors. "The market is just not the same (as) when deals like Razorfish and Scient came out," she added, mentioning increasing investors' weariness toward Web IPOs and an overabundance of Internet offerings. Razorfish priced its IPO late April and soared 125 percent on its first day of trading. Scient Corp had priced its shares at $20 a piece and doubled in value after its debut mid-May. In addition, they (IXL Enterprises) are larger than those two but also have more losses," Kao said. iXL Enterprises, founded in March 1996, said it has incurred substantial losses since its inception and anticipates further losses in the foreseeable future. It reported an accumulated deficit of $73 million as of December 31. |
