Facebook Shares For Sale Nasdaq

Market Cap (Capitalization) is a measure of the estimated value of the common equity securities of the company or their equivalent. It does not include securities convertible into the common equity securities. "Market Cap" is derived from the last sale price for the displayed class of listed securities and the total number of shares outstanding for both listed and unlisted securities (as applicable). NASDAQ does not use this value to determine compliance with the listing requirements.

Facebook Shares For Sale Nasdaq

The technology sector was the S&P 500's best performer. A rally in Apple and Facebook shares helped the Nasdaq Composite Index finish Monday's session with a slim gain. Apple rose 1.5 per cent to $469.45 after the United States overturned a ban on the sale of some older iPhones and iPads. Facebook, which was the Nasdaq's most actively traded stock, jumped 3 per cent to $39.19 after a brokerage upgrade.

In the case of FB, the underwriters led by Morgan Stanley did two things just prior to the IPO that were controversial, in retrospect: it increased the price of the offering and increased the number of shares for sale. If demand had been stronger for the stock, these moves would not have been questioned.

The selling shackles will come off of an additional 1.66 billion locked-up Facebook shares during the next nine months to place more potential pressure on the stock. One of the biggest tests will come in November when about 1.2 billion insider shares will be eligible for sale.
