Instacart, the US grocery-delivery giant that soared by as much as 43% in its trading debut Tuesday, has now wiped out virtually all of those gains as investors question its growth prospects.
The largest grocery-delivery company in America, incorporated as Maplebear Inc., fell nearly 11% on Wednesday, closing at $30.10 — all but erasing yesterday’s increase and settling at just ten cents above the $30 level at which its shares were sold in an initial public offering. Earlier on Wednesday, it traded below that IPO price.
