A new public company has been formed today that includes some of the domain name companies that you might have used in the past.

United Internet has spun off IONOS, which is now a publicly traded entity in Germany. Sedo, InterNetX, IONOS, Strato, united-domains, Arsys, Fasthosts, and a few other companies are included in this new entity.
One advantage of this new entity is that it will provide greater insight into Sedo's performance in the future since it will comprise a significant portion of the overall company. The recent IPO pitch stated that Sedo generates approximately $150 million in revenue annually and that the aftermarket has seen a 48% increase in domain sales between 2019 and 2021.
United Internet had initially hoped for a $4 billion valuation for IONOS, which is comparable to its own valuation. However, the company was priced lower at around $2.8 billion and stock prices declined during early trading.
