Upstart Holdings  / Equity Capital Markets

Upstart Holdings is getting ready to complete its IPO in the US stock market in the next several weeks. Upstart Holdings provides artificial intelligence, cloud-based lending platform. Upstart Holdings is led by several ex-Google employees including its CEO Dave Girouard. It put an IPO placeholder of $100 million but this is likely to be raised further. Goldman Sachs, BofA Securities, Citi, Jefferies, and Barclays are the joint bookrunners on the deal.
The company uses the cloud-based artificial intelligence lending platform and aims to provide lower interest rates, higher approval rates, and a smoother digital experience. Since the company's inception, its bank partners have originated more than 0.62 million personal loans that have generated over 9 million repayments. As of the end of September 2020, about 70% of the Upstart-powered loans were entirely automated. 
Upstart Holdings generated revenue of $164.2 million (up 65.3% YoY) in 2019 and $146.7 million (up 44.4% YoY) in 1Q-3Q2020. From 2017 to 2019, the company's sales increased by 69.3% CAGR. The company's operating margins have steadily improved in the past few years from -13.2% in 2017, -8.0% in 2018, and -2.8% in 2019. The company's operating margins turned positive to 0.9% in 1Q-3Q 2020.
