Better.com's public market debut was Miserable.com
Digital mortgage lender Better.com had a disastrous public market debut, with its stock closing at just $1.19, resulting in a market cap of only $19.14 million, compared to its initial plans to go public at a $7.7 billion valuation. Conversely, Affirm, another fintech company, saw its stock prices rise by nearly 30% after reporting better-than-expected earnings.
