WLL · Paper · NYSE · in our data December 14, 1972 to March 14, 2002 (29.2 years)

At its peak, on March 14, 2002, the market valued it at $6.1 billion. It left the market without a crash, last trading at $55.50. The delisting record says: delisted or deregistered. 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 1972.
