June 26, 2020
Week Ahead

Four IPOs are expected to raise $2 billion before the Fourth of July, led by commercial data analytics provider Dun & Bradstreet (DNB).

Dun & Bradstreet (DNB) plans to raise $1.3 billion at a market cap of $8 billion. The company was taken private for $6.9 billion including debt in February 2019 by an investor consortium led by Cannae Holdings, Black Knight, and CC Capital with the goal of remedying "operational and execution issues" Dun & Bradstreet serves many of the largest enterprises in the world, including roughly 90% of the Fortune 500 and 60% of the Global 500 in 2019. While revenue growth accelerated to 17% in the 1Q20, quarterly growth has been lumpy.

Insurtech startup Lemonade (LMND) plans to raise $270 million at a $1.4 billion market cap. The Millennial-focused company provides an online self-serve renters and homeowners insurance platform and has captured a 7% market share in New York in three and a half years. Fast-growing and highly unprofitable, Lemonade is coming to market at a steep discount to its last private round.

DoubleDown Interactive (DDI), a leading developer and publisher of social casino mobile games, plans to raise $198 million at a $896 million market cap. Acquired by Korea's DoubleU Games in 2017, Seattle-based DoubleDown has a strong track record of profitability and industry-leading monetization. However, its focus on profitability weighed on revenue growth in 2019, and it relies on a small percentage of players for all revenue.

Benefits management platform Accolade (ACCD) plans to raise $175 million at a market cap of $1.0 billion. The company provides its healthcare benefits management platform primarily for self-insured employers, targeting an estimated $11+ billion market opportunity. The company has demonstrated strong growth and improving margins, though its customer acquisitions have slowed in the year-to-date period.
