Initial public offering (IPO) On 26 July 2020, SAP announced its intent to take Qualtrics public through an IPO in the United States. The decision to go public was made due to the Qualtrics performance since the acquisition that outperformed SAP's expectations in excess of 40 percent. Jan 27, 2021 Qualtrics could raise $1.46 billion from the IPO at a $14.6 billion valuation. It was upsized twice from a planned range of $20 to $24 to an eventually offered range of $27 to $29, as per Barron’s.
