What is Skydio stock price?

For illustrative purposes, however, assuming Skydio has issued 250 million shares, at the estimated UpMarket valuation of $2.58 billion, each share of Skydio stock would be worth $10.32.
How do Skydio pre-IPO trades work?
Pre-IPO trades for Skydio will typically involve accredited investors purchasing shares from current shareholders through specialized investment platforms like UpMarket. Trades generally occur on the secondary market, meaning Skydio doesn't issue new shares or receive capital–shares are privately exchanged between two parties.
While investors aim to profit from a potential IPO or acquisition, these investments carry high risks due to limited liquidity and information. Understanding all terms and conditions is crucial, as each transaction can have unique characteristics. Investing in private companies can be extremely risky and may result in significant capital loss.
When is Skydio going to go public?
The decision to go public through an Initial Public Offering (IPO) is complex and depends on various factors, including the company's financial performance, market conditions, and strategic goals.
Unless Skydio officially announces its intention to go public, any predictions about when or if it will do so would be speculative.
Investors interested in Skydio should monitor official company communications and reliable financial news sources for any updates regarding potential IPO plans.
How do I exit my investment if I invest in Skydio with UpMarket?
Exiting your investment in Skydio typically involves one of these scenarios: 1) selling your shares on a secondary market to other interested investors; 2) holding shares until a liquidity event occurs, such as the company going public (IPO) or being acquired.
Investors must know that the timing and availability of these exit options are inherently unpredictable, and there is no guarantee of when or if they will occur.
How can I sell Skydio shares?
If you own Skydio shares, you may be able to find a buyer on a pre-IPO marketplace or via an introduction by a registered broker-dealer like UpMarket. It is important to note that the class of shares you own may impact your ability to sell. For example, shares issued to startup employees often have transaction limitations, including lock-up periods and a right of first refusal by the company, which may prevent you from selling your shares freely.
