At its peak, on June 23, 1988, the market valued it at $3.0 billion. By the end it had fallen hard: the last trade was $21.50, -61.2% from its split-adjusted high. Our data does not say why it stopped trading.

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.
