U.K. Gambling Site 888 Cuts Price Range for Upcoming IPOAuthored by Mark Hefflinger on September 16, 2005 - 9:52am.
London -- 888 Holdings sent shockwaves through the European online gambling market this week after slashing the price range for its imminent initial public offering (IPO) on the London Stock Exchange from more than $1.27 billion to a midpoint of about $1.14 billion. The new price range is about 10% lower than initial estimates. Industry experts said 888 may have been hit by fears of waning Internet gaming growth after rival PartyGaming announced last week that new poker players were spending less than its traditional core. 888 has tried to distance itself from PartyGaming's troubles by insisting that it has seen no evidence of a downturn in online gambling. Conditional dealings in 888 shares are scheduled to begin later this month.
