Instacart shares rose 12% in their Nasdaq debut on Tuesday after the grocery delivery company's long-awaited IPO. The stock initially popped 40% to open at $42, but closed at $33.70 as investors locked in their initial gains. At $11.2 billion, Instacart is valued at about 3.9 times annual revenue. Food delivery provider DoorDash , which Instacart named as a competitor in its prospectus, trades at 4.1 times revenue. Uber's stock trades for less than three times revenue.

☆ Instacart's biggest IPO twist: Tech trying to go public as a value stock
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-18 | by ( Tim Mullaney | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +9 min

At the top of the latest IPO price range, the enterprise value would be 16x EBITDA. The right valuation for Instacart depends on where the ultimate rate of sales growth falls, Einhorn said. Including the cash on the company's balance sheet, that values Instacart at about three times EBITDA – way below DoorDash's valuation. Even that would value the company at only seven times 2025 EBITDA, and about 14 times EBITDA from the last four quarters, still a sharp discount to DoorDash. So in a twist few would have predicted in 2020 or 2021, Instacart is trying to go public as a value stock, carefully managed to wring the best results from potentially modest growth.

Fidji Simo, CEO of Instacart Inc., speaks during an interview in San Francisco, March 3, 2022. Grocery delivery platform Instacart raised its initial price range to between $28 and $30 per share in a regulatory filing Friday, aiming for a valuation of up to $10 billion. Instacart plans to offer 22 million total shares when it debuts on the Nasdaq, including from current shareholders, and could raise up to $660 million. Despite upping its price range — the day after a successful Arm Holdings debut — Instacart's valuation has plunged significantly since 2021, when it raised $265 million at a $39 billion valuation. Beyond Arm Holdings and Instacart, marketing automation firm Klaviyo and biotechnology firm Neumora are set to list soon.

☆ Instacart raises IPO price range after robust Arm debut

The price hike signals robust investor demand for San Francisco-based Instacart, which is looking to finally list its shares this month after years of waiting in the wings. Investors will be pinning hopes on robust debuts from Instacart, Klaviyo and Neumora to carry the momentum in the IPO market after Arm's strong showing on Thursday. Instacart said it is now seeking to sell 22 million shares at $28 to $30 each. At the top end of the range, the IPO will fetch $660 million compared with the earlier target of $616 million. The company's raised valuation target, however, would still be just one-fourth of the $39 billion it was worth after its last funding round more than two years ago.

That's more than 75% below where Sequoia and Andreessen invested in early 2021. At that time, Instacart sold shares at $125 a piece for a $39 billion valuation. The 400,000 shares it purchased in 2021 are a small sliver of the 51.2 million shares it owns. Neither Sequoia nor Andreessen participated in that round. Even if Instacart's IPO can't lift its valuation anywhere near its Covid-era peak, it's likely that Sequoia, Andreessen and other venture firms are hoping it helps lift public investor enthusiasm for new tech stocks.

I didn't want to have to sacrifice to the point of deprivation to live my ideal life. Then I learned about Slow FIRE — living your ideal life now while saving to reach your FIRE number. The idea that if you understood your numbers, you could aggressively invest, save, and reach retirement over a short period of time and begin living your best life when you hit your ideal retirement number. In retrospect, I'm surprised I felt so strongly about the FIRE movement, because nothing about my financial life would indicate that FIRE would ever be right for me.

☆ Instacart Set to Raise IPO Target Price After Arm's Successful Debut - WSJ

(Reuters) -Grocery-delivery company Instacart is preparing to raise the target price for its initial public offering following the successful debut of SoftBank-owned Arm Holdings, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing sources. Instacart is now expected to sell shares for $28-$30 apiece, the Journal said, adding that the company plans to disclose the target price in an amended filing as early as Friday. Selling shares at the high end of the new range, Instacart would be valued at nearly $10 billion on a fully-diluted basis, according to the report. The reported increase in Instacart's target price for its initial share sale comes after shares in SoftBank's Arm soared almost 25% above their Nasdaq debut price on Thursday, rekindling investor hopes for a turnaround in the moribund market for initial public offerings (IPO). Instacart was valued at $39 billion after its last funding round more than two years ago, when easy money helped several startups reach sky-high valuations.
