Friday, July 1st, 2011

Zynga earlier today filed an S-1 with the SEC.  What this means to you and me is the company plans to go public. According to the filing, Zynga aims to raise as much as $1 billion, but this could be a place holder amount.  According to the filing Zynga has 60 million daily active users in 138 countries. 38,000 virtual items are created every second. The company had $100 million in revenue in 2010, and grew revenue to $235 million in the first quarter of 2011.

Zynga is profitable, posting $27.9 million in net income in 2010, which is a a 28% net margin
