Singapore-Based TDCX Rises in U.S. Stock-Market Debut

(Bloomberg) -- Singapore-based TDCX Inc., a provider of digital customer experience solutions, saw its shares rise 5.5% in its U.S. initial public offering Friday.

The company priced almost 19.4 million American depositary shares Thursday at the top end of a marketed range for $18 each, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It had marketed 18.8 million in shares for $16 to $18 each.

It was trading at $18.99 per share at 3:07 p.m. in New York, giving the company a market capitalization of about $2.7 billion.

TDCX operates in Asia, Europe and Latin America. It posted revenue of $187 million for the six months ended in June, about 20% higher than the same period a year before, according to a filing. Facebook Inc. and Airbnb Inc. are listed among its clients.

The offering was led by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Credit Suisse Group AG.
