The Week in Review: Twitter Goes Public

Twitter’s initial public offering yesterday saw the tech company soar into dizzying new heights. The company and its underwriters listed 70 million shares, about 10% percent of its total outstanding shares, at $26 per share.

On Thursday morning, Twitter’s stock, whose symbol is TWTR, opened at $45.10 per share immediately after the opening bell. The price briefly peaked above the $50 mark, valuing the company at more than $30 billion, before settling at $44.90 at Thursday’s closing bell.

Despite critics’ concerns about recent losses and slower new-user growth, the IPO raised a total $1.82 billion in capital funding with the majority coming from large investors like hedge and mutual funds. This placed Twitter’s market capitalization at more than $18 billion.
