First Financial Corp

FFHC · Banks · NASDAQ · in our data December 17, 1980 to October 29, 1997 (16.9 years)

The first trading day in our data for First Financial Corp is December 17, 1980 (its first day in our records, which may be later than its listing and is not its founding). At its peak, on October 29, 1997, the market valued it at $1.4 billion. It left the market without a crash, last trading at $39.50. Our data does not say why it stopped trading. Many companies end this way when they are bought, merged or taken private.

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 1980.
