这家科技巨头还没有名字，却很快要上市，它还是腾讯的股东

在欧洲上市的科技巨头实在稀少，以至于一家甚至还没有确定名字的新公司就要在规模上超越它们了。

非洲的企业集团纳斯帕斯（Naspers Ltd.）于上周宣布了拆分旗下投资组合并让其上市的计划。这家新公司位于阿姆斯特丹，在食品配送、二手商品在线平台等技术领域有着一系列投资，还将持有中国游戏厂商腾讯控股（Tencent Holdings Ltd.）多达1,330亿美元的股票。

相比之下，至少从市值上看，欧洲最大的科技公司是德国的软件公司SAP SE，其市值是1,240亿欧元（合1,390亿美元）。现今排名第二的是荷兰的半导体制造商ASML Holding NV，市值达690亿欧元。

Renaissance Capital公司的分析师大卫·弗格森表示，尽管不是直接比较，但纳斯帕斯这家新上市公司的公允市值约有1,500亿美元。

纳斯帕斯的这家拆分出来的公司仍然没有正式名称，目前被称作“新公司”（NewCo）。它与欧洲投资者之前接触的公司都不一样，至少在规模上如此。

不过NewCo的市值多少最终取决于投资者。它之所以选择在阿姆斯特丹上市，原因之一在于公司试图修正其资产价值的折扣。纳斯帕斯公司目前的估值约为1.42万亿兰特（合1,000亿美元），远低于它持有的腾讯股票的价值。

NewCo还持有DeliveryHero价值13.5亿美元的股票。今年1月，它按照俄罗斯分类广告公司Avito BB 38亿美元的估值，以11亿美元收购了其剩下29%的股票，实现了对后者的完全控股。它在Mail.Ru Group Ltd.也有28%的股份，价值约为14亿美元。

尽管要在阿姆斯特丹上市，但NewCo目前的投资计划主要面向欧洲以外的地区，例如印度、巴西和俄罗斯等市场中迅速发展的科技领域。女发言人沙米埃拉·乐索阿罗表示：公司希望凭借“稀缺价值”吸引投资者。“欧洲没有这样的公司。它将成为一家面向多个高速增长市场的消费互联网公司。”

NewCo的母公司纳斯帕斯在投资者演示会上表示，全球有五分之一的人口会经常使用该公司的产品。位于开普敦的纳斯帕斯是全球第八大消费互联网公司，位列亚马逊（Amazon.com Inc.）、Alphabet Inc.和Facebook Inc.等知名公司之后。

这支加入欧洲科技市场角逐的新军表示，公司将在适当时候对外公布正式名称。而上市日期则要等到2019年下半年。（财富中文网）

European-listed tech giants are so scarce they are set to be trumped in size by a newcomer that hasn’t decided what to call itself yet.

African conglomerate Naspers Ltd. revealed last week that it plans to list a portfolio that includes a range of tech investments, from food delivery to online platforms for second-hand goods. The new Amsterdam-based company will also hold a massive $133 billion stake in Chinese game-maker Tencent Holdings Ltd.

By comparison, the largest tech company in Europe, at least by market value, is German software firm SAP SE, at about 124 billion euros ($139 billion). Next on the current list is ASML Holding NV, the Dutch semiconductor manufacturer, at 69 billion euros.

While not a straight comparison, the fair value for the new Naspers listing could still be about $150 billion, according to Renaissance Capital analyst David Ferguson.

Still lacking an official name — currently called NewCo — Naspers’ spin-off will be unlike any company that European investors have had access to before, at least in terms of scale.

But putting a market value on NewCo will be down to investors. One of the motives for listing in Amsterdam was to try and correct the current discount to the value of its assets. Naspers is valued at around 1.42 trillion rand ($100 billion), far below the value of its stake in Tencent.

The NewCo will also have a $1.35 billion stake in DeliveryHero. In January this year it took full control of Russian classifieds business Avito BB, buying the last 29 percent for $1.1 billion, giving its company a value of about $3.8 billion. It’s 28 percent stake in Mail.Ru Group Ltd. is also worth about $1.4 billion.

While set to be listed in Amsterdam, its current outlook is to invest predominantly outside of Europe, in fast growing technology in markets such as India, Brazil and Russia. The company expects to attract European investors in terms of its “scarcity value,” said a spokeswoman Shamiela Letsoalo. “In the European context, no such group exists. Its will be a consumer internet play with exposure to several high growth markets.”

The new company’s products are regularly used by a fifth of the world’s population, the parent company Naspers said in an investor presentation. Cape-Town based Naspers is the eight-biggest consumer internet business in the world, behind other well-known names such as Amazon.com Inc., Alphabet Inc. and Facebook Inc.

The name for this new European tech play should be expected in due course, said the company. A listing will only be done during the second half of 2019.
