美國經濟再探底,股票再次崩塌,中國的5億美元全完蛋。
看看是誰在賣就清楚了
The IPO signaled the rebirth of an American corporate icon that collapsed into bankruptcy protection and was rescued with a $50 billion bailout from U.S. taxpayers.
GM's owners, mainly the U.S. government, sold 478 million shares at $33 each in the IPO. Shortly after the opening bell on Thursday, the price jumped as high as $35.99 before pulling back later in the day. GM ended Thursday with a gain of 3.6 percent at $34.19.
The government, meanwhile, is on its way to getting back at least part of the $50 billion it spent bailing out GM, which emerged from bankruptcy protection last year with a balance sheet cleansed of huge debt. GM's debt was reduced to $8 billion from a staggering $104 billion in the bankruptcy process.
The leaner company earned $4.2 billion in the first nine months of this year, and its chief financial officer said it could post huge pretax profits if the U.S. auto market recovers to pre-recession highs.
The government made $11.8 billion by selling 358 million shares at $33 apiece in the IPO, and reduced its ownership stake in GM to about 36 percent from 61 percent. (11.8B/(0.61-0.36)=total 47.2B market value). It stands to make $13.6 billion — and lower its stake to 33 percent — if bankers exercise options for 54 million more shares. If the options are taken, the government will have 500 million shares left, and they must sell for $53 each in order to get all the bailout money back. Those options could be exercised this week.
