On April 18, 2024, Ibotta, the digital marketing company backed by Walmart, listed on the New York Stock Exchange under ticker symbol “IBTA” and raised about $557.3 million in an upsized initial public offering. Denver-based Ibotta and a group of its shareholders sold 6.56 million shares for $88 each, according to Bloomberg, bringing Ibotta’s valuation to about $2.67 billion. The offering is expected to close on April 22, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati represented Ibotta in the transaction.
The listing brings the total raised via IPOs on U.S. exchanges this year to about $12 billion, compared with only $3.9 billion at this point in 2023, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That rebound follows a nearly two-year lull in offerings following an all-time high in 2021.
The Wilson Sonsini team representing Ibotta in the transaction includes Larry W. Sonsini, Mark Baudler, Melissa Rick, and Rachel Nagashima.
