A few days ago, I asked whether investors should
get charged upabout the IPO of lithium-ion battery maker
A123 Systems (Nasdaq: AONE). Well, the market
has spoken -- loudly.
On Thursday, the offering was boosted from 25 million to
27.5 million shares (plus 680,501 shares sold by existing
stockholders), and priced at $13.50 per share. Investors
piled on all day, pushing the share price up past $21 at one
point.
So much for our preliminary share structure calculations.
Based on the current price of $19.61, here's an update:
