Stellar debut for 5N Plus
Thursday, December 20th, 2007Just a follow-up to my previous post about Montreal-based 5N Plus and its initial public offering. The maker of purified cadmium telluride for use in solar cells, and a key supplier to First Solar, debutted on the Toronto Stock Exchange at $3.00 (Canadian) and saw its shares skyrocket 87 per cent to $5.60. It will be interesting to see whether 5N’s stock enjoys the same (or similar) climb as First Solar’s shares.
