Instacart, the leading US online grocery delivery company, is gearing up for an initial public offering (IPO) that could value the business at up to $9.3 billion. Pricing (22 million shares at between $26 and $28  is expected be set tomorrow, Goldman Sachs are advising). This marks a substantial decline from its peak valuation of $39 billion during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Instacart is aiming to raise approximately $616 million through the IPO, positioning it as one of the most significant IPOs of the year, potentially signaling a rebound in the US IPO market which has choked recently. This has been the longest lull in listings since the 2009 financial crisis. The IPO pricing is seen as conservative due to the current uncertain market conditions. Instacart’s strategic shift towards focusing on grocery technology over delivery is a key aspect of its IPO strategy, leveraging the consumer data it has gathered to enhance its offerings to grocery stores.
