ETFC · Brokers & Exchanges · NASDAQ · in our data August 16, 1996 to October 1, 2020 (24.1 years)

The first trading day in our data for E-Trade is August 16, 1996 (its first day in our records, which may be later than its listing and is not its founding). At its peak, on June 6, 2018, the market valued it at $17.4 billion. It ended in a collapse: the last trade was $49.26, -92.0% from its split-adjusted high. The delisting record says: merged or acquired.

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 1996.
