IPO Status
Lime (parent company Neutron Holdings) successfully completed its IPO on July 1, 2026, pricing at $25 per share (the midpoint of its $24-$26 range) and raising approximately $167-$175 million. The stock began trading on Nasdaq under ticker LIME, opening at $27 per share and rising 8% on its first day of trading to reach a valuation of approximately $1.73 billion. The IPO saw strong demand, with orders reaching six times the available shares. Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan led the offering, which came at a significantly lower valuation than Lime's previous Series D round of $2.4 billion. The Uber-backed e-scooter and e-bike rental platform's successful public debut follows years of anticipation and comes after the company achieved free cash flow positivity for multiple consecutive years and posted 29% revenue growth in FY25. CEO stated the IPO happened at the "right moment" for the company. Uber, a major backer, is expected to benefit from the public listing and has expressed interest in potentially increasing its stake. The company had been seeking to address $845 million in debt obligations through the offering.
