In $187.5M IPO, Chegg Debuts On NYSE In Twitter's Shadow, As Shares Slump 15 Percent

Screen Shot 2013-11-13 at 7.33.51 AMIt's been a long-time in coming, but eight-year-old education company, Chegg, debuted this morning on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "CHGG." In the days prior, Chegg priced its initial public offering at $12.50/share, outpacing its expected range of $9.50 to $11.50, raising $187.5 million in total at a valuation of close to $1.1 billion. Chegg is the first company to arrive on the public markets after Twitter's noisy debut last week, in which the veteran microblogging service priced at $26/share and raised $1.8 billion at a lofty valuation of up to $18 billion. Twitter quickly saw the price of its stock vault to around $41/share, where it's remained since.
