Twitter公司上周四透露，公司计划于下月上市，预计市值约为100亿美元。

    位于加州旧金山的Twitter公司表示，它计划在公开市场发行700万股股票，发行价在17美元到20美元之间，共计募资14亿美元。若最终实际发行价为发行价区间的中位数，Twitter的发行市值将为100.8亿美元（全面摊薄后市值为128亿美元）。如果它的发行价达到20美元，那么Twitter的市值将接近110亿美元。

    Twitter在10月3日才刚刚公开提交S－1招股书，到上周四，恰好过去了3周。美国证交会规定，提交这两份文件的时间间隔最少为3周。“路演”将在10月25日正式展开，计划持续整整一周时间，一直到11月4日。这意味着我们很可能在11月7日周四晚间时刻正式掌握Twitter的发行价。

    Twitter的发行价和它在递交首份IPO文件时在二级市场的股价相当。不过，Twitter显然希望股价能取得开门红，尤其是鉴于它仅计划在公开市场发行该公司13%的股票。

    眼下并没有迹象显示内部人士正在抛售股票。按照Twitter发行价的中位数计算，公司联合创始人埃文•威廉姆斯持有的股票价值将超过10亿美元。另一位联合创始人兼董事长杰克•多西持有的股票价值也将高达4.34亿美元。

    Twitter (TWTR) this afternoon revealed that it expects to have an initial market cap of approximately $10 billion after it goes public next month.

    The San Francisco-based company said that it plans to raise upwards of $1.4 billion, by selling 70 million shares at between $17 and $20 per share. That would work out to an initial market cap of $10.08 billion (or a fully-diluted value of $12.8 billion), were it to price in the middle of its range. It would be worth just shy of $11 billion were it to price at $20 per share.

    Today's filing comes exactly three weeks after Twitter first publicly filed its S-1 documents, which was the shortest period of time it was allowed to wait. The so-called "road show" will begin tomorrow, and wrap up the week of November 4. That means the actual pricing is likely to occur the evening of Thursday, Nov. 7.

    This price is mostly in line with where Twitter shares were being offered on the private markets in the weeks leading up to its original IPO filing. But the company certainly is expecting a first-day pop, particularly given that it only plans to float around 13% of the company.

    There is no information yet on if insiders are selling shares. Company co-founder Evan Williams' stake would be worth just over $1 billion if Twitter prices in the middle of its range. Fellow co-founder and chairman Jack Dorsey's position would be worth approximately $434 million.

    Goldman Sachs (GS), Morgan Stanley (MS) and J.P. Morgan (JPM) are leading the offering, with Twitter planning to list on the New York Stock Exchange.
