Shares of Lyft Inc. crashed through the ride-hailing company’s initial public offering price on just their second day of trading, tumbling as much as 10.5 percent and matching the speed at which Facebook Inc. gave up its IPO price following its botched offering nearly seven years ago.
Lyft’s shares hit a session low of $69.12 on April 1, well below the company’s IPO price of $72.
