CVC-Backed Bamboo Insurance Targets $3.24 Billion Valuation in US IPO
The offering includes 35 million secondary shares and could raise up to $700 million for CVC and White Mountains affiliates, the company said.
- On Monday, CVC-backed Bamboo Insurance Services launched its roadshow for a U.S. IPO, targeting a valuation of up to $3.13 billion and applying to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker "BMB."
- Founded in 2018 and led by industry veteran John Chu, Bamboo focuses on residential property insurance, capturing about 4% of California's homeowners market after recurring wildfires forced competitors to scale back.
- Selling shareholders, including CVC Capital Partners and White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd., seek up to $700 million by offering 35 million shares priced between $18 and $20 apiece, with underwriters holding a 30-day option for additional shares.
- IPOX Vice President Kat Liu said the insurance sector maintains "relatively resilient demand," though the MGU model creates risk as the business is "more dependent on its relationships with insurance carriers and other capacity providers."
- Melbourne, Florida-based Orion180 Insurance launched its roadshow last week seeking up to $340 million, as the insurance IPO pipeline remains strong despite fall market volatility from inflation and oil prices.
