Lyft Planning to Launch <br />IPO Next Month The driving service would beat out main rival Uber to the punch. At the end of last year, both companies filed the necessary paperwork <br />around the same time. Should Lyft go public on March 18 as planned, it would be the only ride-hailing company on Wall Street. Uber is currently worth <br />around $90 billion. When it goes public, Lyft says its value will be around $25 billion. Unlike Lyft, Uber can also be used outside of Canada and the United States.
