Bamboo IPO Terms Value Insurance Platform at Up to $3.13B
WTM sits 25% above its 52-week low of $1,648.
Summary
Bamboo Insurance Services, in which White Mountains holds a significant stake, unveiled IPO terms: 35 million shares at $18-$20, implying a market cap of up to $3.13 billion. White Mountains will sell shares and retain about 14% ownership post-IPO, while CVC remains majority owner at 69%. This follows White Mountains' late-2025 sale of a controlling stake to CVC at a $1.75 billion valuation, so the IPO marks a substantial value uplift for its remaining stake. The offering is a liquidity event for White Mountains and could generate a meaningful gain, though the exact proceeds depend on final pricing and underwriter option exercise.
