TERA · Electronics · NASDAQ · in our data November 1, 1982 to June 18, 2001 (18.6 years)

Our price history begins on November 1, 1982, and Teraforce Technology Corp was already trading then; how long before that, our data does not say. At its peak, on March 8, 2000, the market valued it at $657 million. It ended in a collapse: the last trade was $0.52, -96.5% from its split-adjusted high. The delisting record says: likely 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 1982.
