Lyft made its public market debut on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “LYFT” on Friday, trading at $87.24 a share—20 percent above its IPO price of $72.
San Francisco-based Lyft, advised by Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, said Thursday that it priced 32.5 million shares at $72 apiece, up from its first price range of $62 to $68. At the IPO price, Lyft has raised about $2.3 billion from the listing, valuing the ride-sharing company at about $24 billion.
Lyft is the first of a raft of tech “unicorns”—startups with a valuation over $1 billion—set to make their initial public offerings this year. According to an updated S-1 the company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission this week, the deal has generated $1.4 million in legal fees and expenses for its legal advisers.
