Dec 2 (Reuters) – Michael Kors Holdings Ltd, known for
its eponymous luxury lifestyle brand, filed with U.S. regulators
on Friday for an initial public offering of common stock that
values the company at as much as $3.63 billion.

The offering comes at a time when many companies are trying
to squeeze in their IPOs as the window of opportunity prised
open by Groupon’s listing last month closes with the
holiday season kicking off later this month.

Dec 2 (Reuters)- Zynga Inc, which plans to go public in two
weeks, on Friday slashed its value by more than 30 percent to
$9 billion, hoping to avoid the fate of other recent Internet

$9.04 billion, whereas just two weeks ago a filing listed its
value, based on a third party assessment, at $14.05 billion.

Nov 16 (Reuters) – Delphi Automotive Plc raised
$530 million in its initial public offering — in a deal that
values the company much less than it had hoped for when IPO
plans were first being formed.

At the IPO price of $22 a share, the former General Motors parts unit that was once the largest U.S. auto supplier
is valued at about $7.22 billion. In May, people familiar with
the matter said the supplier could be worth $10 billion to $14
billion.

Oct 26 (Reuters) – Automatic Data Processing
reported a higher quarterly profit helped by its core employer
services segment, but its shares fell as the company’s revenue
forecast for the year indicated a possible slowdown in growth.

ADP, the world’s largest payroll processor, forecast fiscal
2012 earnings to grow 8-10 percent. However, the company, which
reported a 13 percent jump in revenue in the first quarter,
expects a 7-9 percent revenue growth for the full year.
