21 billion less 100 million equals verislime

Posted: October 16, 2003 in Uncategorized

Verisign is selling Network Solutions for $100 million. It purchased it for $21 billion (yes, that's a one followed by nine zeroes) in 2000. What an investment!
The valuation was based on their stock price of $247.44 at the time. They are currently trading at $15.10. That would be about $1.2 billion if the number of shares was the same.
