Chiquita Brands Intl.

CQB · Agriculture · NYSE · in our data January 2, 1968 to March 19, 2002 (34.2 years)

Our price history begins on January 2, 1968, and Chiquita Brands Intl. was already trading then; how long before that, our data does not say. At its peak, on September 30, 1991, the market valued it at $2.6 billion. It ended in a collapse: the last trade was $0.71, -98.3% 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 1968.
