Reuters broke the news that U.S. grocery delivery app Instacart is considering going public through a direct listing, concerned that it could leave money on the table through a traditional initial public offering (IPO). Investment bankers working on Instacart’s listing have estimated that it could be valued by the stock market at more than $50 billion. The move would make Instacart the latest company to snub an IPO, for decades the primary path to a stock market debut, because it risks pricing its offering too low compared to where its shares end up trading.
