Instacart (NASDAQ: CART<\/a>) recently went public. Why should you care?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer is yes. Instacart just went public. It’s now on the stock exchange under NASDAQ: CART<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can You Buy Instacart Stock as a Retail Investor? Is Instacart Publicly Traded?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Is Instacart Owned by DoorDash?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No, DoorDash is not an investor in Instacart. Rather, they are competitors in a similar industry.  DoorDash primarily delivers meals from restaurants while Instacart is in the business of grocery deliveries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, an investment in DoorDash (NYSE: DASH<\/a>)<\/strong> also offers exposure to the broad food delivery\/convenience industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Invest in Instacart Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now, you can directly purchase shares of Instacart (NYSE: CART<\/a>) on your favorite brokerage (once again, we suggest eToro<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But out of curiosity (and to give you ideas for how to approach other private companies in the future), how could<\/em> you have invested before the company went public? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One way would have been to invest in T. Rowe Price (NASDAQ: <\/a>TROW<\/a><\/strong>), an investor in Instacart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before Instacart went public and you could access the company directly, an investment in T. Rowe Price would have given you exposure to Instacart similar to investing in YouTube via Google stock or Instagram via Meta stock. While not a direct investment, it would have given you some exposure to Instacart\u2019s upside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
