No Bang, Just A Whimper: Uber's Market Debut Stalls Out

Description

Uber's conservative initial public offering couldn't keep its shares from sinking in their trading debut on Friday. According to Reuters, the company's weak debut fuelled debate on Wall Street over whether the outcome of the most anticipated listing since Facebook Inc would weigh on other Silicon Valley unicorns like Postmates and Slack. Uber picked a terrible week for its IPO, as it was plagued by market turbulence fueled by U.S.-China trade worries. Uber’s shares ended the day down 7.6% at $41.57, even as the S&P 500 reversed losses to end in positive territory. Only about a fifth of IPOs have ended their first day of trading in the red in the last two years.

Was It Fun While It Lasted? Quibi Leaves With A Bang, Not A Whimper

After several tumultuous months, the quirky short-form video streaming service Quibi is calling it a day. Following earlier reports that Quibi had been courting potential buyers, company leadership appeared to be looking to offload the service onto someone else. Quibi bet big on its so-called Turnstyle technology that lets mobile users see two different perspectives depending on their phone’s orientation. But on Wednesday, Quibi founder Jeffrey Katzenberg notified investors that he was indeed shutting the service down mere months after launching in April. Gizmodo reports Katzenberg has repeatedly blamed the pandemic for Quibi’s failure to launch. However, Quibi failed to meet viewers where they preferred to watch--particularly after the launch of rival services like Peacock and HBO Max.
