Corus Bankshares Inc

CORS · Banks · NASDAQ · in our data December 14, 1972 to September 14, 2009 (36.8 years)

Our price history begins on December 14, 1972, and Corus Bankshares Inc was already trading then; how long before that, our data does not say. At its peak, on April 28, 2006, the market valued it at $1.9 billion. It ended in a collapse: the last trade was $0.20, -99.3% 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 1972.
