Michael Kors Holdings went public in 2011.
Its initial public offering took place on December 15, 2011, when the company listed its ordinary shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol KORS. The offering priced shares at $20 each and raised roughly $1.1 billion in gross proceeds.
The IPO marked a major turning point for the business. It provided capital for expanding Michael Kors stores, wholesale distribution and international operations, while giving public investors a way to participate in the brand’s rapid growth.
The company’s later name change can make the timeline confusing. Michael Kors Holdings became Capri Holdings Limited in December 2018 after the Versace acquisition, and the stock began trading under the ticker CPRI in January 2019. The 2011 listing, however, belongs to the company’s earlier corporate identity.
