Podcast: Making Sense of Lyft’s IPO
解读Lyft的IPO
| 主持人/对话人：亚历克斯·尤勒（Alex Eule）/ 阿尔·鲁特（Al Root）
It’s been six years since we started using the phrase unicorns to describe the giant private companies that were seeking to upend all parts of the economy. And while a few of those companies have already gone public, last week felt like the official coming out party for the Unicorn class. Ride-hailing company Lyft began trading on the Nasdaq on Friday morning with a value of more than $24 billion. So what happens now?
六年前，我们开始用独角兽这个词来形容那些试图颠覆经济各个领域的大型私营公司。这些公司中有几家已经上市，但感觉上周才算独角兽大军正式拉开IPO帷幕。3月29日，Lyft（LYFT）开始在纳斯达克挂牌交易，市值超过240亿美元。那么现在会发生什么呢？
Lyft is one of the first in a wave of “unicorns”—private companies valued at more than $1 billion dollars—expected to go public this year, including Uber, Airbnb, Pinterest, and Slack.
Lyft是首批预计将于今年上市的独角兽公司中的一家，这些公司的价值都超过10亿美元，其中还包括优步（Uber）、爱彼迎（Airbnb）、网络移动应用程序Pinterest和协作工具Slack。
The company raised $2.7 billion by selling stock for $72 per share. But, as often happens with much-hyped IPOs, investor demand quickly pushed the share price to $87, 20% above the offering price.
Lyft以每股72美元的价格发售股票，总计筹资27亿美元。但是，和那些被大肆炒作的IPO交易一样，投资者旺盛的需求很快将股价推高至87美元，比发行价高出20%。
This week on The Readback, Alex Eule is joined by Barron’s senior writer Al Root, who’s been covering the Lyft IPO for Barron’s for a discussion on the future of the ride-hailing company.
