eMachines also had the bad luck of going IPO at the worst time possible. NASDAQ hit its all time intraday high of 5,132.52 on Mar 10, 2000. It dipped about 300 points for about 1-2 weeks, before eMachines went IPO on Fri, Mar 24. NASDAQ hit an intraday high of 5,078.86 that day, then went into a free fall from that peak. That was the beginning of the "dot com crash". It would take 15 years for NASDAQ to recover (https://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/apr/23/nasdaq-new-...).
eMachines IPO'd at $9 on Mar 24, climbing to $10, then closing at 8 13/16. It would never again hit $9. It was delisted from NASDAQ slightly over a year later, in May 2001. I cannot find a source for the exact date of delisting. Wikipedia says that the price was hovering around $0.38 when it was delisted, but I think I recall seeing its price hitting lows of $0.12 before delisting.
