▼ + stars: | 2023-09-20 | by ( Ashley Capoot | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Instacart shares slumped nearly 11% in their second day of trading Wednesday, continuing a slide that began immediately after the stock hit the Nasdaq on Tuesday, and leaving it narrowly above its initial public offering price. On Monday, Instacart sold shares in its long-awaited IPO at $30 apiece. Trading under ticker symbol CART , the stock popped 40% to open at $42, but then sold off throughout the day to close at $33.70. Instacart's offering helped reignite a sleepy IPO market, which has been mostly closed since late 2021 as companies were plagued by inflationary pressures and rising interest rates. Analysts at Needham issued a hold rating on Instacart's stock in a Tuesday note.

The nearly week-old United Auto Workers strike against Ford (F.N), General Motors (GM.N) and Stellantis (STLAM.MI) is viewed as a signal of the strength of the U.S. labor movement that has garnered national support from Americans. The UAW members from two striking plants gathered in Toledo were rolling out for the one-hour, 45-mile (72 km) drive to Wayne, Michigan, where Ford workers also walked off the job last week. In Michigan, Ohio and Missouri, the three states where workers are currently striking, models made by the Big Three dominate the leaderboard of new auto registrations. The United States is still the second-largest car market in the world, trailing only China. Union membership has fallen steadily over several decades in the United States.

☆ Instacart's IPO flops as the stock slumps. Here are 7 reasons why.
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-20 | by ( Alistair Barr | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

This is one of the concerns that has turned Instacart's IPO into a flop on its second day as a public company. To be successful, an IPO must deliver a big pop to the investors who signed on to buy stock when it debuts. He came out with an analysis of Instacart's business on Tuesday, valuing the company at $29 a share. The reason: The grocery business is low-margin, so there's not a lot of room for Instacart to skim more fees. "In short, the growth in online grocery sales will be higher than total grocery sales growth, but not overwhelmingly so."

Wingstop CEO Michael Skipworth discussed the chicken wings-focused restaurant chain's growth with CNBC's Jim Cramer, saying much of it comes from existing franchisees reinvesting in the business. "If we look back over the restaurants we've opened over the last year, over 90% of those came from our existing franchisees reinvesting, which I think just speaks to the strength of the model," Skipworth said. He added that Wingstop's partnership with companies like DoorDash and Uber Eats is also bringing customers to the business. According to Skipworth, widespread inflation is not hurting the company's franchisees. And it doesn't take a lot of capital to open a Wingstop," he said.

☆ 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.

Instacart, the grocery-delivery company that saw its business boom during the pandemic, priced its long-awaited IPO at $30 a share on Monday, and will become the first notable venture-backed tech company to hit the U.S. public market since December 2021. There were 22 million shares sold in the initial public offering, with 14.1 million coming from the company and 7.9 million from existing shareholders. Instacart co-founder Apoorva Mehta owns shares worth over $800 million, and is selling a small portion of them in the IPO. The company said co-founders Brandon Leonardo and Maxwell Mullen are each selling 1.5 million, while Mehta is selling 700,000. Former employees, including those who were in executive roles as well as in product and engineering, are selling a combined 3.2 million shares.
