1. $Maplebear (CART.US)$ is IPO-ing for private investors and employees to cash out, not raise money.
Of the ~$9.5B valuation, only $660M is being raised through IPO. Of that $660M, flagship investors have bought approximately $450M. That leaves only ~$200M for purchase for the general public. This tells me their goal is to give employees and investors a direct way to cash out shares.
Also, they have a strong balance sheet and are profitable. They don't need to...

$PayPal (PYPL.US)$
Facts:
- total transactional volume is still fine despite pressure with Apple Pay
- PayPal braintree is getting started
- Vemno by PayPal is popular among US teenagers
- PayPal buy now pay later has phenomenal growth
What do you think ? PayPal at its current prices seem like a decent bet.
