Instacart spent its first day as a public company in volatile fashion. <\/p>\n

After the IPO was priced at $30, the stock opened 40% higher and peaked at $42.95 before losing steam. Shares closed at $33.70, giving the company a first-day pop of 12.3%.<\/p>\n

The delivery firm now carries a market value of $11.2 billion.<\/p>\n

\n

The San-Francisco based company said late Monday that it sold\u00a0<\/strong>22 million shares in the IPO, raising a total\u00a0<\/strong>of $660 million, roughly $420 million of which goes to the company. <\/p>\n

Instacart\u00a0is one of the year\u2019s most hotly watched IPOs, following the listing of chip designer\u00a0Arm Holdings\u00a0(ticker: ARM) last week. Taken together, they are expected to crack open the window for the IPO market, which has been quiet for most of the year. Klaviyo, a marketing software company, is expected to start trading on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

How
\n Instacart
\n trades beyond Tuesday will depend on investors\u2019 faith in the future of the gig economy\u2019s expansion and profitability. Maplebear, as Instacart is formally known, generated $2.55 billion in revenue last year, up 39% from a year earlier. Roughly three-quarters of that revenue came from the company\u2019s core business of delivering groceries to homes with the help of contractors. The rest was generated from other services and a new offering called Instacart Ads, where retailers pay to show ads to customers.<\/p>\n

Instacart had net losses of $70 million and $73 million in 2020 and 2021, respectively. It generated net income of $428\u00a0million in 2022, though much of that came from a $358 million tax benefit.<\/p>\n

At the $42 opening price, Instacart was valued at about six times i<\/strong>ts annual sales.
\n DoorDash
\n \u00a0(DASH), named as a competitor in Instacart\u2019s filings, has a cheaper price-to-sales ratio of 4.1 times. DoorDash has consistently increased annual sales after going public in 2020, but the company has yet to turn a per-share profit. <\/p>\n

Instacart also lists UberEats, part of
\n Uber Technologies
\n (UBER), and Shipt, owned by Target, as competitors.<\/p>\n

Instacart, which was founded in 2012, <\/strong>officially filed to go public on Aug. 25 after a long wait\u2014the company\u00a0had first filed a confidential registration statement\u00a0for a potential\u00a0IPO\u00a0in\u00a0May\u00a02022. As a private company, Instacart had been valued as high as $39 billion. <\/p>\n
