XPEL登陸納斯達克

“Any Company Can Be Listed，But Time Will Tell The Tale.”

”任何公司都能上市，但時間會證明一切。”

這是流行在納斯達克的一句俚語，作為世界上第二大的證券交易所，

納斯達克股票交易所（英語：NASDAQ）是美國的一間電子股票交易所，創立于1971年，其英文名稱「NASDAQ」原為National?Association of?S?ecurities?D?ealers?A?utomated?Q?uotations（全國證券交易商協會自動報價系統）的縮寫。

在納斯達克上市的公司一般的先決條件：經營生化、醫藥、寬頻、信息、光纖、通信、制造（含傳統行業）等公司經濟活躍期滿1年以上，且具有高成長性的發展潛力。包括微軟、蘋果、英特爾、戴爾、思科等等。2012年5月18日，Facebook通過在納斯達克上市，募得約160億美元，美國第二大IPO。而國內的企業中、百度，中國醫療，中國科技、網易，搜狐，新浪等也選擇在納斯達克上市。

Today marks another historic moment in XPEL history: we’ve made it all the way to Wall Street. Now trading on?Nasdaq?under the the symbol “XPEL.”?

這篇Facebook 推文伴隨著美國時間周五9.30的納斯達克開盤儀式發出，標志著世界第二大電子交易所的開盤的同時，一個新的交易代號—–XPEL ,正式出現在了納斯達克的電子屏幕上.

正如推文所說的那樣，今天標志著XPEL歷史上有一個歷史性時刻，漆面膜行業內唯一一家的上市公司，漆面膜行業內唯一一家站上國際舞臺的跨國公司開始向全世界展現它獨有的魅力。

但其實早在7/17日時，XPEL官網就更新了這篇官方的說明，宣布了美國證交會（sec）已經承認了XPEL在納斯達克的注冊生效，XPEL的普通股將在納斯達克開始銷售。并提醒持有實物股票證明書的股東及早換取新證明書。

而在這篇官網的正式公告中，RYAN PAPE，?XPEL的總裁兼首席執行官這樣說道：我們在納斯達克的上市對于我們公司來說是一個令人興奮的里程碑，我們已經考慮和努力了相當長一段時間。作為一家總部位于德州的公司，XPEL 在美國的交易是有道理的。作為sec的注冊公司，我們相信此舉將提高我們在市場上的知名度，讓更多的投資者了解我們的公司，并最終提高流動性和股東價值。

從RYAN PAPE的發言中不難看出，納斯達克的上市對于XPEL的意義重大，不僅是在于投資或者是資金流動性方面的影響，或者是知名度的提升，更多是在于市場對于XPEL的認可程度有了進一步的提升，對于XPEL的長時間的努力有了回報的興奮之情，同時對于公司的未來有了更明顯的前瞻性規劃，更有利于企業的長久發展。

在納斯達克這樣一個全球最大的電子股票市場上市，帶來的不僅是機遇也是挑戰，在3600家上市公司中，XPEL可能只是個新手，卻也面臨著世界上監管最嚴，最復雜的監視系統和最專業的監管專家的重重保護。

但XPEL一路走來，從1995年的圣安東尼奧市的辦公室內，走到2006年的加拿大TSX（多倫多證券交易所），從XPEL.U走到XPEL.US 歷經了22年的企業歷程，XPEL一步步走向了世界的經濟中心，走到了華爾街，走到了世界資本的中心。這么長時間的企業里程，能走到現在公司，無一不是靠誠信立足。

XPEL擁有全球業務、受過培訓的安裝人員網絡和專有的dap軟件，通過提供高質量的產品、領先的客戶服務、專家技術支持和世界級的培訓，致力于超越客戶的期望，是支撐XPEL一路走下去的信心和原動力所在，這個世界，實力為尊。
