Google -2.9% after earnings
Google’s IPO took place on Thursday, August 19, 2004. Google offered 19,605,052 shares at an initial stock price of $85 each. The sale of 1.67 billion dollars at that IPO gave Google a market cap of over $23 billion dollars.
The three people who ran Google -- cofounder and CEO Larry Page, cofounder Sergey Brin, and chairman and former CEO Eric Schmidt -- wanted to make sure they would have control of the company for a long time. They wanted to try and avoid what was happening at Yahoo in 2014, where an activist shareholder got upset and tried to install its own board members and influence strategy.
