MEE · Coal · NYSE · in our data January 2, 1968 to June 1, 2011 (43.4 years)

Our price history begins on January 2, 1968, and Massey Energy Company was already trading then; how long before that, our data does not say. At its peak, on June 30, 2008, the market valued it at $7.6 billion. It left the market without a crash, last trading at $65.14. 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 1968.
