Instacart valued at $9.9 billion as IPO market rebounds

Instacart, the grocery delivery app, has priced its initial public offering (IPO) at the top of its range, resulting in a $9.9 billion fully diluted valuation. The IPO was priced at $30 per share, raising $660 million based on 22 million shares sold. This is a lower valuation compared to the $39 billion value assigned by investors in a private fundraising round earlier this year. The offering signifies the rebound of the US IPO market, which had been quiet until recent successful IPOs like Klaviyo and Arm.

Who is Apoorva Mehta, Instacart Co-founder who made a ₹9,100 crore exit?

Apoorva Mehta went from being an engineer at Amazon to becoming a billionaire at age 37, thanks to his innovative business idea. In 2012, Mehta founded Instacart, a platform for grocery delivery that now serves over 7.7 million customers and partners with more than 80,000 retailers in the US. The inspiration for Instacart came to Mehta when he realized that he could buy everything online except groceries. The company recently went public with an IPO valuation of $9.9 billion.

The recent tech IPOs are flirting with negative territory

The recent IPOs of Instacart and Klaviyo initially saw their share prices rise but have since lost most, if not all, of their post-debut gains.

Instacart went public at $30 per share, reached a high of $42.95 per share, and is now valued at $29.97 per share. Klaviyo started at $31 per share, peaked at $39.47 per share, and is currently valued at $32.15 per share.

Reddit shares open 38% above IPO price

Reddit's shares made a strong stock market debut, opening 38% higher than the initial public offering (IPO) price. The social media platform was valued at $8.87 billion, with an IPO valuation of $6.4 billion.

However, analysts have raised concerns about the risky retail allocation strategy employed by Reddit.
