Uber-backed Lime raises $167 million in US IPO



Lime, backed by Uber, raised $167 million in its US initial public offering, joining a growing list of companies tapping a revived market for new listings.

The company, formally known as Neutron Holdings, sold 6.68 million shares at $25 per share, the midpoint of its marketed range ‌of $24 to $26 per ⁠share.

The ⁠market for new listings has regained momentum after a bout of volatility triggered by ​the Iran conflict, with companies reviving IPO plans as resilient equity markets and a ​string of high-profile offerings bolster investor appetite.

Lime, founded in 2017, is a San Francisco, California-based company that provides short-term rentals of electric bikes ​and scooters in over 230 cities worldwide.

Demand for ⁠its services ‌has jumped as commuters, particularly in densely populated ​urban centers, are ​increasingly turning to shared e-bikes and scooters for ⁠short trips, drawn by their lower cost and convenience.

Its ​2025 revenue of $886.7 million was a near 30% jump ​from the $686.6 million it reported a year earlier. Net loss widened to $59.3 million from $33.9 million in the same period.
