**By Brazil Stock Guide –** **Agibank** was forced to rework its New York IPO at the last minute, cutting both price and size to get the deal done, according to *Valor Econômico*. The indicative range was reduced to **$12 to $13 a share**, down from **$15 to $18**, underscoring a sharp reassessment of risk as the offer heads to pricing.

The reset reflects a tougher market for Brazilian financial listings abroad. Investors questioned whether Agibank’s recent growth can be sustained, even after the bank disclosed **R$ 832 million ($167 million)** in net income in IPO materials. Appetite for emerging-market financials has narrowed as buyers demand clearer visibility on earnings quality.

Comparables added pressure to the bookbuild. Shares of **PicPay**, which listed on Nasdaq in January, have fallen about **15%** since debut, becoming a negative reference during demand soundings. Regulatory issues also weighed on sentiment. Temporary blocks on new payroll-deducted loans linked to Brazil’s INSS raised concerns among prospective investors, Valor reported.

To unlock the transaction, Agibank also shrank the deal’s scope. The IPO now includes **20 million shares in the base offer**, plus up to **3 million** overallotment shares, in a **100% primary** sale. Expected proceeds dropped to roughly **$266 million to $299 million**, well below the earlier potential of up to **$828 million**, highlighting a more selective reopening of the U.S. IPO window for Brazilian issuers.
