Selling continued on Thursday and spilled into after-hours trading, with SPCX briefly dropping below $120 before rebounding to $126.2. Based on the figures provided, SPCX at one point traded about 11.1% below its offering price, about 25.4% below its first-day close of $160.95, and about 46.8% off its post-listing high of $225.64.
