Wish parent company ContextLogic fell 5% at the open of its trading debut on Wednesday, giving the e-commerce company a market valuation of about $15 billion on a fully diluted basis.

The stock opened at $22.75 and hit an intraday low of $20.05, representing a decline of 16% from its initial public offering price of $24.

Wish priced its IPO at $24 per share, raising $1.1 billion in proceeds at a valuation of $17 billion. That's well ahead of the company's last fundraising round as a private company in August 2019, when the firm raised $300 million at a valuation of $11 billion.

Wish was created by former Google engineer Piotr Szulczewski. The e-commerce platform relies on a personalized visual browsing experience rather than the traditional search and go shopping habits facilitated by a search bar.

Was not aware Wish parent IPOed. I'm bearish without looking at the financials, given its Google search trend, and the general bad reviews of products sold on it's platform among the Tech community: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_q...ish+review
“If you buy a business just because it’s undervalued, then you have to worry about selling it when it reaches its intrinsic value. That’s hard. But if you can buy a few great companies, then you can sit on your ass. That’s a good thing.” - Charlie Munger
