Tesla, Facebook, and Alibaba are highlighted as notable IPOs from the last two decades. Tesla (TSLA) went public on June 29, 2010, at an offer price of $17 per share, but closed at $23.89. An investment of $10,000 made at the IPO price would be worth approximately $2.4 million by June 2026. Facebook (now Meta Platforms, Inc., META) launched on May 18, 2012, at $38 per share, and a similar $10,000 investment would yield about $154,000 today. Alibaba Group (BABA) became the largest IPO in history on September 18, 2014, raising $25 billion at $68 per share; however, an investment of $10,000 in its IPO would only be worth about $17,509 today.
In summary, while Tesla and Facebook saw substantial returns for those who invested at IPOs, Alibaba’s performance has significantly lagged over the past decade. The analysis was discussed in Episode #488 of the Zacks Market Edge Podcast, where host Tracey Ryniec examined the implications of these investment outcomes.
