LPL Financial's IPO is finally here. Yesterday the Boston and San Diego-based independent broker-dealer firmed up its IPO pricing at $30 per share for nearly 15.7 million shares, and the swarm of underwriters (Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Citi, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Keefe Bruyettte & Woods, Lazard, Macquarie Capital, Morgan Stanley,Sandler O'Neill & Partners, Sanford Bernstein, UBS and William Blair & Company) can buy almost 1.57 million more shares, if they choose. LPL expects to IPO today on the Nasdaq under the ticker LPLA.

That $30 pricing (at the upper end of LPL's estimate range earlier this month: see The MFWire, 11/4/2010) values LPL's IPO at almost $470 million without the underwriters' option and almost $517 million with that option. And Dow Jones' Kathy Shwiff reports that LPL will have 107 million shares outstanding after the IPO, putting its total IPO market cap at $3.21 billion.

LPL chairman and CEO Mark Casady was scheduled to ring the Nasdaq opening bell this morning in honor of the IPO.
