AMSY · Software & Services · NASDAQ · in our data April 27, 1979 to May 3, 2004 (25 years)

The first trading day in our data for American Management Systems is April 27, 1979 (its first day in our records, which may be later than its listing and is not its founding). At its peak, on March 24, 2000, the market valued it at $1.8 billion. By the end it had fallen hard: the last trade was $19.38, -55.9% from its split-adjusted high. Our data does not say why it stopped trading.

Share prices are adjusted for splits and other share changes, so the high and the last price compare like for like; the peak market value is as it was on the day. 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 1979.
