It is possible and there has been much speculation over a possible Facebook IPO. A lot of this speculation was quieted last year when Microsoft bought a small private stake (something like $300 million) in the company last year, which in effect valued Facebook at around $15 billion
Just recently it was discovered that Facebook was actually only valued by Microsoft at around $3 billion or so. The chances of Facebook going public are now much lower, but the financial industry understands what it is and would likely pour a lot of capital into it right at the outset if it ever happened. I for one would probably try get allocations if they ever decide to do an IPO, but it could be a long ways off if ever. Will it compare to Google? Probably not, Google is near a $200 billion market cap and a much larger company with a lot more earnings. Facebook is still as of now just a big social network trying to leverage its advertising and developer platform. Ads |
