Lyft has successfully completed its IPO in the US, and is trading on the Nasdaq platform as of today (March 29, 2019). It had been estimated to start at US$72 per share; however, this value is now closer to $88. This, then, is the most successful tech offering since Snap - but Uber is hot on its heels.

The ride-hailing provider Lyft has completed its initial public offering (IPO) in the United States, and is now a share listing on the Nasdaq as a result. The company had raised approximately US$2.3 billion as a result of its conversion into a publicly-trading body, as the 6.1 million shares forwarded had been valued at $72 each. The company is also now valued at $24 billion overall.

Reportedly, Lyft (or $LYFT, rather) is having an excellent first day of trading today (March 29, 2019). Its latest share price has accumulated about $10, or approximately 15% greater than its original valuation. However, it apparently started trading at just over $87, or 21% up. Either way, its investors are probably happy enough at the moment.

On the other hand, Lyft may not have the public ride-sharing company space to itself for long. Uber is also said to be preparing an IPO of its own soon. Current estimates put the resulting worth of the company at a whopping $100 billion. This is particularly impressive, as earlier indications suggest that this firm is currently hemorrhaging cash, having lost $891 million in the second quarter of 2018.

I became a professional writer and editor shortly after graduation. My degrees are in biomedical sciences; however, they led to some experience in the biotech area, which convinced me of its potential to revolutionize our health, environment and lives in general. This developed into an all-consuming interest in more aspects of tech over time: I can never write enough on the latest electronics, gadgets and innovations. My other interests include imaging, astronomy, and streaming all the things. Oh, and coffee.
