The big winners from tonight’s Zynga IPO.
Zynga this evening raised around $1 billion in its IPO, by pricing 100 million shares at $10 per share. That puts a whopping $7 billion valuation on the social gaming giant (of $8.9 billion, if you include unexercised options and warrants), which will begin trading tomorrow on the Nasdaq under ticker symbol ZNGA.
Morgan Stanley (MS) and Goldman Sachs (GS) served as co-lead underwriters.
