Instacart lifted the proposed price range for its initial public offering (IPO) on Friday and is now targeting a fully diluted valuation of up to $10 billion after Arm Holdings' strong market debut.
The grocery delivery app said it is now seeking to sell 22 million shares at $28 to $30 each, compared to an earlier price range of $26 to $28 per share.
The IPO's top end will now fetch $660 million compared with the earlier target of $616 million. Despite the increased valuation, the total is just one-fourth of the $39 billion it was worth after its last funding round more than two years ago.
