Ibotta files for IPO, plans to list on NYSE
The number of shares and the price range for the proposed offering have not yet been determined, the provider of digital promotions and performance marketing solutions said in a Friday (March 22) press release.
Ibotta intends to list its Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol “IBTA,” according to the release.
The company’s platform enables brands to deliver digital promotions to more than 200 million consumers through the Ibotta Performance Network (IPN), a network of publishers that allows marketers to influence consumers’ shopping habits while paying only when their campaigns directly result in a sale, the press release said. Since 2012, American shoppers have earned $1.8 billion through the IPN.
Ibotta is backed by Walmart and has more than 850 clients, including PepsiCo, Nestle and Coca-Cola, Reuters reported Friday. The company’s revenue grew 52% year-over-year in 2023, and its net income margin grew 12%.
If the pace of IPOs being completed at the time of that report continues, it will exceed the levels seen in 2022 and 2023, Goldman Sachs said.
Potential IPOs for Chime Financial and Encyclopaedia Britannica have been reported in recent days.
On Friday, it was reported that Chime Financial plans to launch its IPO in 2025 after having been considered an IPO candidate for years.
Encyclopaedia Britannica announced in January that it confidentially submitted a draft registration statement with the SEC relating to a proposed IPO. Bloomberg reported Monday that the company is aiming for a valuation of about $1 billion and may launch its IPO as early as June.

Snap to lay off 10% of global workforce, around 500 employees
- The company’s last major round of cuts was in August 2022, when it laid off 20% of staff and restructured its business lines.
- Snap CEO Evan Spiegel testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, one of several social media executives to face scrutiny over the damage their platforms caused young people.
- The social media platform is the latest tech company to continue cutting in 2024. Nearly 24,000 tech workers lost their jobs in January alone. Already this month, cybersecurity and identity company Okta and Zoom have laid off staff.
- Snap stock remains below its debut price and well off its 2021 high of around $83.
- Per a filing, "In order to best position our business to execute on our highest priorities, and to ensure we have the capacity to invest incrementally to support our growth over time, we have made the difficult decision to restructure our team."
- As a result, SNAP currently estimates that it will incur pre-tax charges in the range of $55 million to $75 million, primarily consisting of severance and related costs, and other charges, of which $45 million to $55 million are expected to be future cash expenditures. The majority of these costs are expected to be incurred during the first quarter of 2024. Potential position eliminations in each country are subject to local law and consultation requirements, which may extend this process into the second quarter of 2024 or beyond in certain countries. The charges that they expect to incur are subject to a number of assumptions, including local law requirements in various jurisdictions, and actual expenses may differ materially from the estimates disclosed above.
