At its peak, on March 5, 2008, the market valued it at $2.7 billion. It left the market without a crash, last trading at $72.32. Our data does not say why it stopped trading. Many companies end this way when they are bought, merged or taken private.

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 2003.
