End of 2012. We will still have to wait before seeing the great landing of Facebook, the long-awaited IPO of the company with 750 million users. The value of its private shares is estimated at approximately $66,5 billion. So skip the date hitherto passed off as almost certain, April 2012.
Company sources reveal that Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook, wants to focus the work of his employees on product development rather than on the collection of dividends. But it should be noted that the turbulence in the markets is particularly destabilizing: two companies such as Groupon and Zynga have already backtracked on their planned IPO plans.
