Here are are few things for investors to know about the Lyft IPO.

• Unfortunately, the biggest things to know about the Lyft IPO, at the moment, is that there isn’t much to know.

• Being that the submission to the SEC was confidential, we still don’t know how many shares will be included in the IPO.

• It is also still unknown at this time what per share price range the ride-sharing service is looking for with an IPO.

• What we do know is that the SEC will be reviewing the submission and that Lyft is planning for its IPO to take place once this is complete.

• While the exact date is unknown, inside sources claim that Lyft is looking to launch its IPO in the first half of 2019.

• It appears that the underwriters for the Lyft IPO will be JPMorgan Chase, Credit Suisse and Jefferies.
