Bank of America Joins $14B Tenneco IPO as Lead Underwriter
Tenneco has tapped Bank of America, Barclays, Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase to lead a potential IPO valuing the automotive supplier at about $14 billion. The Apollo-owned parts maker expects roughly $2 billion in EBITDA this year, nearly double its pre-acquisition level.
1. Lead Underwriting Roles
Tenneco has selected Bank of America alongside Barclays, Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase to steer its initial public offering, marking a major step toward monetizing the Apollo Global Management–owned automotive supplier.
2. IPO Valuation and Financials
Based on comparable company metrics, the full business could fetch approximately $14 billion, up from the $7 billion enterprise value at Apollo’s 2022 acquisition; Tenneco is on pace for about $2 billion in EBITDA this year.
3. Market Context and Exit Strategies
The push for a listing follows shifts that favor gasoline-powered vehicles and a broader wave of private equity exits, with firms eyeing stronger IPO windows after policy changes reduced EV incentives and eased emissions standards.
