Dream debut on NASDAQ - Baidu
The joke during the dot-com boom days in the Silicon valley was , " If a company goes for an IPO with an unprouncable name as a CEO (typically an Indian name which the westerners find difficult to pronounce) , then the IPO debut used to be a great success" . Whoa , the same is now true for company names.
Little known chinese firm Baidu.com , saw its shares going through roof on its ADS (American depositary shares) debut in NASDAQ last week. The $27 share hit $151.21 during intra-day trading ! Google owns a tiny stake in the company and the general bullishness about China has resulted in such a high valuation. Who said dot-coms are dead ?
