At its peak, on April 12, 1999, the market valued it at $20.1 billion. It ended in a collapse: the last trade was $0.15, -99.8% from its split-adjusted high. The delisting record says: likely failure.

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 1997.
