LEVI STRAUSS IPO
Dear readers, Levi Strauss will launch its IPO on NYSE this week. Yes, you read it correctly: the company behind the Levi Jeans that many of us would have coveted back in our teenage days! I was rather surprised at Levi’s IPO since Levi has been such a brand old name and to think that it is making a comeback on NYSE after so many years (as quick background, Levi was taken private in 1985 after a previous listing in 1971).
Notwithstanding that Levi is still a player to be reckoned with in the jeans markets, the fact is that the retail fashion is dynamic, consumer tastes are always evolving and the industry is rather competitive. Hence I will only invest in Levi IPO only after I am convinced of Levi’s business on a long-term basis. Join the emailing list to receive regular Financial and Singapore stocks newsletters too!
