"TAP não sobrevive se se mantiver pública", garante Pinto Luz

A OpenTable que o diga!

35% de valorização nos primeiros minutos de negociação.

Nada mal para uma empresa que facturou apenas 16 milhões de dólares nos 3 primeiros meses do ano e que ganha a vida a fazer aplicações para reservas online de mesas em restaurantes.

By Steve Gelsi & Dan Gallagher, MarketWatch
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- OpenTable Inc. saw its shares jump more than 35% in its first minutes of trading Thursday following an initial public offering that priced above the company's expectations.

Late Wednesday, OpenTable priced its initial public offering at $20 a share -- above its planned IPO range of $16 to $18 a share.

The stock was last trading up 35% at $27.02 on the Nasdaq.

The company, which provides an online reservation system for restaurants, is the second venture-backed company to go public this week, following the debut of software maker SolarWinds (SWI 13.89, +0.14, +1.02%) on Wednesday. The two are the first venture-backed deals since August 2008.

OpenTable offered 3 million shares at $20 a share -- for proceeds of $60 million -- throough underwriters Merrill Lynch (BAC 11.47, -0.02, -0.18%) and Allen & Co. The San Francisco-based company drew strong investor interest. Earlier this week, OpenTable had raised its planned pricing range by $4 from a $12-to-$14 range.

The company posted a profit of $366,000 on revenue of $16 million in the three months ended March 31, versus a loss of $87,000 on revenue of $13 million in the year-ago period.

Shareholders of the company include Benchmark Capital and IAC/Interactive.

SolarWinds (SWI 13.89, +0.14, +1.02%) ended its first day of trading at $13.70 a share, up 9.6% over its IPO price of $12.50 a share.
