You're right to be cautious but you are also confused. IPO clearly state: "Our valuation of Oxford Nanopore at 31 December 2020 reflects several factors including the company’s strong performance in 2020,
which is described above, and evidence of strong investor interest in the company. In terms of financing, we considered recent investment offers received by the company, and the potential impact and timing of an IPO. As a result, we have concluded on a fair value of £340.3m for the Group’s 15.0% undiluted shareholding, an increase of 29% during the year, resulting in an unrealised fair value gain of £76.5m." As for the future valuation of Oxford Nanopore I note that WISE is valued at £8.8bn so miracles can happen!
