IPO at 45
It's been dine before by all technology companies like AMZN, FB, SNAP, NFLX etc. The difference here is Uber and Lyft don't have a plan to make them profitable and both are in a very low margin businesses. They can afford to lose money until they run out of cash which won't be for a while.
