The first trading day in our data for Windstream Communications is February 25, 2005 (its first day in our records, which may be later than its listing and is not its founding). At its peak, on February 23, 2007, the market valued it at $7.4 billion. It ended in a collapse: the last trade was $0.34, -99.5% from its split-adjusted high. The delisting record says: dropped by the exchange (failure).
