????互聯網公司IPO總能贏得大量的媒體報道，而值得注意的是2013年最大的幾宗IPO都與科技世界無關，至少沒有直接的關系。

????最新的例證是希爾頓全球酒店集團(Hilton Worldwide)，這家公司周一宣布可能籌資多達24億美元。它計劃以每股18-21美元的價格出售1.128億股；如果向銀行增售更多股票，它的募資規模可能擴大至27.2億美元。果真如此，計劃本月重返公開市場的希爾頓將是今年第二大IPO，超過上個月募資18億美元、在紐約證交所掛牌的微博網站Twitter。

????今年最大的幾宗IPO不都是主流媒體大肆報道的熱門公司。今年還剩下約1個月，今年迄今為止美股IPO募資總額已經達到了434億美元，超過了2012年的424億美元，僅次于2007年的487億美元。據復興資本（Renaissance Capital）統計，這是科技泡沫破滅以來的年度美股IPO募資規模的新高。今年十大美股IPO大多是公司成立僅10多年——除了科技公司，大多集中于醫療保健和金融服務行業。可能由于它們不像Twitter、Facebook那樣主要面向消費者，這些公司沒有獲得太多的關注。

????是的，希爾頓的名頭很大。但是不像Twitter，這家酒店連鎖公司是盈利的，擁有近1個世紀的歷史。2007年，即最近一輪經濟衰退開始前不久，黑石集團(The Blackstone Group)以200億美元將希爾頓私有化，當時酒店運營公司普遍受到商業旅行者和度假者減少、以及房地產價格下跌的沖擊。自那以來，希爾頓已從低谷反彈，酒店行業持續復蘇，投資者希望能在美股大幅上漲的情況下套現。

????今年以來最大的IPO是總部位于休斯頓的石油管道公司Plains GP Holdings，募資規模28億美元，其次是有60多年歷史的寵物家畜疫苗和藥物生產商Zoetis（如果希爾頓不能后來居上，超越它的話）。輝瑞(Pfizer)子公司Zoetis今年1月上市時募資達到了22億美元。（財富中文網）

????下面是2013年美股十大IPO：??

????For all the attention the media gives Internet companies when they go public, it's worth noting that the majority of the biggest IPOs in 2013 will not be related to the tech world, at least not directly.

????The latest example comes from Hilton Worldwide, which on Monday said it could raise as much as $2.4 billion. It plans to sell 112.8 millions shares for $18 to $21 each; selling additional shares to banks could put the proceeds at as much as $2.72 billion. If that happens, Hilton, which plans to return to the public market this month, would be the second biggest IPO this year, outshining online micro-blogging service Twitter, which last month raised $1.8 billion when it listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

????The biggest IPOs this year aren't always the companies that make major headlines in the mainstream press. With about a month left before the end of the year, proceeds from U.S. IPOs total $43.4 billion, ahead of 2012's $42.4 billion and trailing only 2007's $48.7 billion. This is the highest total since the tech bubble, according to Renaissance Capital. The majority of the 10 biggest public offerings this year have come from companies that have been around for more than a decade – besides technology, they have been concentrated in health care and financial services. Such companies probably don't garner as much attention because they are a lot less consumer focused than the likes of Twitter and Facebook.

????True, Hilton is a big name. Unlike Twitter (TWTR), however, the hotel chain is profitable and has a history that stretches back by nearly a century. The Blackstone Group (BX) took it private for $20 billion in 2007, shortly after the recession began, as hotel operators were hurt by a drop in business travel, fewer vacationers, and falling real estate prices. Hilton has since bounced back, as the hotel industry continues to recover and investors look to cash in as stock prices soar.

????The biggest IPO so far this year has come from Houston-based oil pipeline company Plains GP Holdings (PAGP), which raised $2.8 billion in October, followed by Zoetis (ZTS), that is if Hilton doesn't unseat the 60-plus-year-old maker of vaccinations and medicines for pets and livestock. A subsidiary of Pfizer (PFE), the company raised $2.2 billion when it went public in January.
