IWG · Utilities · NYSE · in our data January 2, 1968 to June 30, 1995 (27.5 years)

Our price history begins on January 2, 1968, and Iowa-illinois Gas & Elec was already trading then; how long before that, our data does not say. At its peak, on August 30, 1993, the market valued it at $781 million. It left the market without a crash, last trading at $21.88. The delisting record says: delisted or deregistered. 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 1968.
