With the monster Facebook IPO that’s on tap for 2012 towering over the 2012 IPO market, Twitter is in no rush to hit the IPO market in 2012 with the Twitter IPO. While there are no concrete signs in early 2012 the Twitter IPO will happen in 2013, there have been some current moves by Twitter that indicate that the company is heading towards going public via an IPO by 2013.

Why The Twitter IPO Will Likely Happen In 2013
While there appears to be no compelling financial need for the Twitter IPO to occur in 2013, since the company seems to be on sound fiscal footing (which some observers question) and doesn’t appear to need to immediately raise capital to pay for operations, there are several factors that may cause the Twitter IPO to occur in 2013.
Straight off the stock market is experiencing a new wave of Web IPOs, the largest since the 1990s, with Internet sites such as LinkedIn and Groupon completing successful high-profile IPOs in 2011, and Facebook prepared to IPO in 2012. If Twitter has any intentions of going public through a Twitter IPO, then they have to get their act together and bring their IPO to market while the marketplace for Web IPOs is hot.
2nd, the US Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires non-public firms with over 500 personal backers to divulge finance info that public corporations must disclose. While it is confusing when Twitter will have more than 500 personal financiers, trading in private Twitter stock through sites such as SecondMarket and sales of Twitter stock to personal financiers could cause Twitter to get to the 500 private financier threshold. Reaching this threshold usually causes corporations to quickly accelerate their IPO plans, as non-public corporations prefer to milk the advantages of being a public company after they are required to divulge the same monetary information as public companies.
At this early juncture, it is too early to speculate about what price the Twitter IPO might happen at and what the valuation of Twitter may be after the Twitter IPO. Ultimately , whether there's a Twitter IPO in 2013 and what valuation will be given to the Twitter IPO by the investment community will rely upon how Twitter and its Web peers do over the next year and how hot the Internet IPO market is in 2013.
