StubHub, the online ticketing marketplace, is planning to go public by late summer, targeting a valuation of at least $16.5 billion, a figure that matches its valuation from a funding round in 2021. The company has been working with financial giants JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs over the past two years to prepare for the IPO. However, there are concerns about achieving this valuation, given StubHub's financials include $2 billion in debt and a 7X EBITDA. With a revenue of $1.6 billion, growing at 15% year-over-year, the price to sales ratio would be 10. Despite these ambitions, skepticism exists about reaching the desired valuation, with predictions suggesting a more likely valuation range of $6 billion to $7 billion.
