NASDAQ:BSP 27 June 2026 - 11 July 2026

Bending Spoons hired just 286 people from roughly 800,000 applicants in 2025—an acceptance rate of 0.036%—while its four founders retained 82.71% of voting power after the Milan-based software group went public. The pairing puts two kinds of scarcity at the centre of its first post-IPO test: access to the core team and access to corporate control.

Bending Spoons S.p.A. ordinary shares start their second public day with the stock still far above the IPO price and a valuation that puts an older web business at the center of the trade. The less-used line in the final prospectus is AOL: in 2025 historical-as-adjusted data, it supplied $333.6 million of operating income against $633.4 million of revenue, while final pro forma combined operating income was $508.8 million.
