Among other glittering technological iPo in recent years, this performance is a separation. Although some American technological giants may be worth more than a circle, it has broken a little expectations in early trading to the extent.

Meta, sometimes Facebook, for example, IPO’D in the amount of $ 38 in 2012. After the first day of trading, the company’s stock remained stagnated to $ 38.23, disappointing investors.
