Smartsheet And DocuSign Raise Their IPO Ranges Ahead Of Friday Debuts

Morning Report: Heading into formal pricing, both Smartsheet and DocuSign have raised their IPO prices ranges. Let’s explore.

This Friday should bring an IPO doubleheader, with both Smartsheet (cloud-based work tracking) and DocuSign (e-sign and related products) going public. If I am not mistaken, the debuts will be tech’s first daily double since New Relic and Hortonworks both went public on December 14th, 2014.

Keeping to their paired theme, both companies are looking to raise more capital in their flotations than they had previously noted.

Here’s what you need to know:

• DocuSign raised its range from $24 to $26 per share to $26, to $28 per share. That’s 8.3 percent more from lower bound to lower bound, and 7.7 percent from upper bound to upper bound. It shows that the company is happy to trade first-day pop for cash in the bank. (Smart, given the firm’s continued GAAP losses.) (S-1/A here.)
• Smartsheet raised its range from $10 to $12 to $12 to $14 per share. That’s 20 percent more from lower bound to lower bound, and 16.66 percent more from upper bound to upper bound. For more on the company’s financial performance, we’ve got you. (S-1/A here.)

Both companies should price after the bell tomorrow and begin trading on Friday. Of course, we’ll be reporting along the way. Until then, place your bets as both companies are looking to go public during some heavy chop.
