    GERMAN bus services firm Flix has picked three banks as advisers for a planned initial public offering (IPO) in the first half of 2024, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

    The banks involved are JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs and BNP Paribas, the sources said.

    Flix, the owner of the Greyhound brand in North America and FlixBus in Europe, could reach a valuation of 4 billion euros (S$5.9 billion) in an IPO, they added.

    Flix, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs and BNP Paribas declined to comment.

    A number of other European firms, including German hydrogen firm Nucera and Romanian energy producer Hidroelectrica, have recently completed IPOs.
