is postponing its initial public offering, the second company in as many days to pull back from the red-hot IPO market, the Wall Street Journal reports. <\/p>\n<p> The point-of-sale lender, which had been set to begin marketing its shares to investors this coming week ahead of a December listing, now won\u2019t go public until January at the earliest.<\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n       While the reasons aren\u2019t entirely clear, people familiar with the matter cited the extreme first-day pops this past week in the shares of DoorDash Inc. and Airbnb Inc. and delays at the Securities and Exchange Commission amid a flood of listing requests.<\/p>\n<p>The move comes just a day after The Wall Street Journal reported that video<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> company Roblox Corp., which was on a similar IPO timetable, put its listing on pause until early next year.<\/p>\n<p>Both Roblox and Affirm will consider selling a larger portion of their shares and changing the mix of stock to be sold by the company, its employees and shareholders as they seek to mitigate any initial pop, some of the people said.<\/p>\n<p>This year has been the busiest ever for IPOs as measured by dollars raised in the U.S., a frenzy that has been fed by a wave of traditional listings as well as deals by shell companies known as special purpose acquisition companies. Affirm and Roblox were set to join an unusual year-end rush of companies seeking to go public after the coronavirus pandemic upended the traditional new-issue calendar. Both companies were expected to draw strong investor demand.<\/p>\n<p>Affirm, which offers online shoppers the ability to pay for goods in installments through short-term loans, was expected to fetch a valuation of as much as $10 billion.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/affirm-postpones-initial-public-offering-sources-say-11607801619?mod=mktw\" class=\"icon none\">An expanded version of this story appears on WSJ.com. <\/a><\/p>\n<div data-layout=\"\n              inline\" data-layout-mobile=\"\" class=\"\n        media-object\n        type-InsetCommentingPromo\n            \n            inline\n  article__inset\n        article__inset--type-InsetCommentingPromo\n            article__inset--inline\n  \"><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"byline article__byline\">\n<p>      <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author  hasMenu\" data-scrim='{\"type\":\"author\",\"header\":\"Maureen Farrell\",\"subhead\":\"The Wall Street Journal\",\"list\":[]}' itemscope itemprop=\"author\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<h4 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maureen_Farrell_and\"><\/span>Maureen Farrell and<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"author  hasMenu\" data-scrim='{\"type\":\"author\",\"header\":\"\",\"subhead\":\"The Wall Street Journal\",\"list\":[]}' itemscope itemprop=\"author\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<h4 itemprop=\"name\"><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"author  hasMenu\" data-scrim='{\"type\":\"author\",\"header\":\"Caro Lombardo\",\"subhead\":\"The Wall Street Journal\",\"list\":[]}' itemscope itemprop=\"author\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<h4 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Caro_Lombardo\"><\/span>Caro Lombardo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
