热门游戏《绝地求生》的开发商魁匠团(Krafton)周二上市首日股价大跌,此前该公司通过首次公开募股筹资38亿美元,为韩国有史以来第二大IPO。
魁匠团的股票发行价为 49.8万韩元,周二早盘,该股一度暴跌20%,截至首尔时间上午10点下跌16%,市值约为20.4万亿韩元(约合178亿美元)。由于对估值和几乎所有收入都依赖于《绝地求生》的担忧,该公司此前已将IPO融资目标下调了1万亿韩元以上。
魁匠团是韩国上市规模第二大的公司,仅次于三星生命保险2010年43亿美元的IPO。该公司的上市使其市值达到了与该地区一些最大的游戏开发商相似的水平,其中包括价值约172亿美元的Nexon和价值约157亿美元的NCSoft Corp.。
不过,该公司的独特之处在于对一款游戏的极度依赖,今年第一季度《绝地求生》占到其总销售额的96.7%。

Shares in Krafton, the developer of the popular game PUBG, fell sharply on its first day of trading on Tuesday after the company raised $3.8 billion in an initial public offering, the second-largest IPO in South Korea's history.
Shares in the carpenter group, which sold at 498000 won, tumbled as much as 20% in early trading on Tuesday and fell 16% as of 10:00 Seoul time, with a market capitalization of about 20.4 trillion won ($17.8 billion). The company has cut its IPO funding target by more than Won1tn because of concerns that valuations and almost all revenues are dependent on PUBG.
Kui Carpenter Group is the second largest listed company in South Korea, after Samsung Life Insurance's $4.3 billion IPO in 2010. The company's listing brings its market capitalization to a level similar to that of some of the region's largest game developers, including Nexon, worth about $17.2 billion, and NCSoft Corp, which is worth about $15.7 billion.
However, the company is unique in its heavy reliance on a game, with PUBG accounting for 96.7% of its total sales in the first quarter of this year.
