July 14 (Reuters) -

Consumer intelligence company NIQ Global is targeting a

valuation of up to $7.08 billion in its U.S. initial public

offering, as private equity-backed listings start to trickle in

after a slowdown.

The Chicago, Illinois-based company, backed by investment

giants Advent International and KKR, is aiming to raise

up to $1.20 billion by offering 50 million shares priced between

$20 and $24 apiece, it said on Monday.

PE-backed IPOs sharply slowed down in the second

quarter as tariff-driven turmoil weighed on the new listings

market.

McGraw Hill, a textbook publisher and educational

courses provider backed by billionaire Tom Gores' buyout firm

Platinum Equity, also kicked off its U.S. IPO roadshow on

Monday.

NIQ will list on the New York Stock Exchange under the

symbol "NIQ." J.P. Morgan, BofA Securities, and UBS Investment

Bank are the lead underwriters for the offering.
