After including stock options and restricted stock units, Instacart’s total valuation is now in the range of $9.3 billion to $9.9 billion, higher than its earlier valuation of $8.6 billion to $9.3 billion. The raised valuation is still way below the $39 billion level the company saw in its last funding round in 2021.
Instacart is expected to list next week under the stock symbol “CART.” The company expects to receive $550.5 million in net proceeds from this offering and the private placement of Series A Preferred Stock. This amount will increase to $640.9 million if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of common stock. These estimates are based on the assumed initial public offering price of $29.00 per share at the midpoint of the price range
