The price values the company at $9bn, which analysts have described as “pricey”. The move comes just weeks after the early struggles of ride-hailing company Lyft, which saw its stock price plunge below its IPO price the day after it listed.
Pinterest’s IPO is expected to kick off another flurry of tech startups going public. Zoom Video Communications, another tech unicorn, will also debut on the stock exchange today, with messaging platform Slack and ride-sharing app Uber expected to join them in the coming weeks.
Mueller report released
A redacted version of the Mueller report is scheduled to be released today, as confirmed by the Justice Department earlier this week.
The probe into United States presidential election found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. However, it is thought that the 400-page document could open up new lines of inquiry regarding the Trump campaign.

Auto Shanghai will run at the National Center for Exhibition and Convention for the next week, reaching its conclusion on Thursday, 25 April.
