Monday.com is soaring since its initial public offering. In only two months the company’s value has more than doubled. Monday.com’s share price was up yesterday by 23.55% at $302.78, giving the company a market cap of $13.24 billion.
When Monday.com went public in June the company issued 3.7 million shares and raised $574 million. At the time, shares sold for $155 each, much higher than the originally announced price range of $125 to $140. Salesforce.com Inc.’s venture arm and Zoom Video Communications Inc., each agreed to buy $75 million the company’s shares in a private placement at IPO price, according to Monday.com’s filings.
The company’s surge can be attributed to much better earnings than expected for Q2 2021. Revenue was $70.6 million, an increase of 94% year-over-year. The expectations were for just $62.1 million.
Net cash used in operating activities was negative $0.4 million, with negative adjusted free cash flow of $1.5 million, compared to negative net cash used in operating activities of $13.9 million and $15.0 million of negative adjusted free cash flow, in the second quarter of 2020.
Cash, cash equivalents, short-term deposits and restricted cash was $878.0 million as of June 30, 2021, including $21 million from borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and net proceeds from our IPO and concurrent private placement of $736.2 million.
