Shares of Toast Inc jumped more than 63 percent in their New York Stock Exchange debut on Wednesday, valuing the restaurant software provider at nearly $32.6 billion.
The stock opened at $65.26, compared with its initial public offering price of $40 per share.
The Boston-based company, which makes software to help restaurants with online and in-store orders, sold 21.7 million shares in its IPO, raising about $869.6 million. Its IPO was priced above an earlier targeted price range of $34 to $36 per share.
Toast’s listing comes at a time when demand for online food delivery has skyrocketed due to COVID-19 lockdowns, with homebound customers ordering more through DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub and other services.
The 10-year old company builds software that helps restaurants manage online orders, operate an on-demand delivery network and integrate payments.
