ENE · Wholesale · NYSE · in our data January 2, 1968 to January 11, 2002 (34 years)

Our price history begins on January 2, 1968, and Enron was already trading then; how long before that, our data does not say. At its peak, on September 15, 2000, the market valued it at $66.1 billion. It ended in a collapse: the last trade was $0.62, -99.3% 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 1968.
