Pulmonx was founded in 1995 and booked $32 million in sales for the 12 months ended June 30, 2020. It plans to list on the Nasdaq under the symbol LUNG. BofA Securities, Morgan Stanley, Stifel, Wells Fargo Securities and Canaccord Genuity are the joint bookrunners on the deal. It is expected to price on Wednesday, September 30, 2020.
