(Reuters) -Instacart’s shares jumped as much as 43% in their Nasdaq debut on Tuesday, giving the grocery delivery app a valuation of more than $14 billion days after SoftBank (TYO:)’s Arm <\/span><\/span> Holdings (NASDAQ:) entered Wall Street with a bang.<\/p>\n

San Francisco-based Instacart’s IPO was priced at the top end of its $28 to $30 price range, raising a total of $660 million in proceeds, out of which $237 million will go to investors who sold their shares in the offering. <\/p>\n

The IPO gave Instacart a valuation of nearly $9.9 billion, a fraction of the $39 billion it was worth in 2021, the company’s last funding round. <\/p>\n

Several startups have had to take a cut to their valuations since 2022 as inflation, geopolitical tensions and the Federal Reserve’s rapid rate hikes soured the economic climate.<\/p>\n

Instacart’s strong debut, along with those of chip designer Arm and RayzeBio last week, could encourage other startups to test the waters and potentially revive the IPO market after a near 18-month dry spell.<\/p>\n

Still, a lukewarm reception to Neumora Therapeutics’ IPO last week hinted at limited investor enthusiasm for new listings, with the market nowhere near the exuberance of 2020 and 2021.<\/p>\n

“The IPO market is very much a ‘buyer’s market’ for now, and companies that want to access the IPO market need to be prepared (to offer) that discount (on the IPO price),” said David Erickson, a senior fellow and finance lecturer at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

“That discount will reduce if the next several IPOs, including Instacart, price well and continue to trade well,” Erickson added.<\/p>\n

Instacart is debuting almost three years after kicking off preparations for going public, with the company’s long slog to Nasdaq featuring some key moments.<\/p>\n

Its core business turned profitable in 2022, and the trend has continued in the first six months of 2023, the company disclosed in its regulatory filing last month. <\/p>\n

In 2021, its co-founder Apoorva Mehta stepped down after seven years at the helm and named Fidji Simo, the former head of Meta’s Facebook (NASDAQ:) app, its CEO.<\/p>\n

Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan are the lead underwriters for Instacart’s IPO.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
