SÃO PAULO—AGI Inc, a prominent financial services provider in Brazil, has officially priced its initial public offering (IPO) at $12.00 per Class A common share. The company plans to release 20 million shares, marking its significant leap toward becoming a publicly traded entity. "We are excited to take this step forward and look to enhance our capabilities in serving clients across the region," said a company representative.
The shares are set to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "AGBK" on February 11, 2026. This IPO aims to bolster Agi’s presence in the fintech landscape while generating further investments for expansion. The closing of the offering is anticipated for February 12, 2026, pending customary closing conditions.
In orchestrating this offering, AGI has partnered with key financial institutions. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are acting as active global coordinators for this IPO.
