Up 21% from its offering price

The stock opened at US$87.24, up 21 per cent from its offering price of US$72, which was better than its initial expected range of US$62 to US$68.

Lyft had little trouble getting investors to hop on board its increasingly popular ride-hailing service, as its initial public offering fetched a US$72 per-share price that exceeded even its own expectations. It will mark the first time that most people who have used their smartphone to summon a car dispatched by Lyft or its bigger rival, Uber, will have a chance to make a bet on whether the ride-hailing phenomenon will continue to transform transportation and eventually become a major money maker.

The institutional investors that bought into the IPO clearly think so, enabling Lyft to demand a price that was above its initial goal of US$62 to US$68 per share.
