PULS · Electronics · NYSE · in our data January 2, 1968 to October 16, 2014 (46.8 years)

Our price history begins on January 2, 1968, and Pulse Electronics Corp was already trading then; how long before that, our data does not say. At its peak, on September 7, 2000, the market valued it at $2.4 billion. It ended in a collapse: the last trade was $1.18, -99.8% from its split-adjusted high. The delisting record says: dropped by the exchange (failure).

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.
