Instacart's IPO prospects raise questions about the tech IPO market
Instacart recently released its offering prospectus for its IPO, but the numbers raised concerns about its ability to jumpstart the tech IPO market. Despite showing a $428 million profit for 2022, $358 million of this amount was described as a tax benefit. Additionally, sales for the first half of the year were flat compared to the same period last year. Instacart's public offering may not be enough to stimulate the market for new tech issues.
