Birkenstock Falters in Lackluster Wall Street Debut, Signaling Investor Caution

October 11, 2023

Birkenstock, the esteemed German sandal manufacturer with a 250-year legacy, saw its shares start trading at $41, below its IPO price of $46. This tepid market entry, closing at $40.20, more than 12% below the offering price, suggests a cautious sentiment among investors toward new listings. The decline from IPO price to opening price marks one of the poorest debuts for a company valued at over $1 billion in nearly two years.
