Uber-backed Lime prices IPO at $25 a share, raising about $174m

Lime priced its IPO at $25 (midpoint), raising ~$174m, signaling steady but cautious demand for a lossmaking micromobility operator. Uber's >10% stake and debt guarantees position it as an anchor backer, improving Lime's credibility but creating limited near-term financial implications for Uber given the non-controlling, non-consolidated nature of the holding. The deal is more a sentiment read-through on IPO risk appetite than a material earnings driver.
