The first trading day in our data for Acterna Corp is November 9, 2000 (its first day in our records, which may be later than its listing and is not its founding). At its peak, on February 2, 2001, the market valued it at $4.1 billion. It ended in a collapse: the last trade was $0.15, -99.3% from its split-adjusted high. The delisting record says: likely failure.

The return covers the trading days in our data only: it does not include what holders received, or lost, after the last trade (a merger payout, a bankruptcy), and it does not reach back before 2000.
