IPO日期：2012年5月18日

    编撰2012年IPO排行榜就不能不提现在已被一些人称为十年来（甚至有史以来）最糟的这宗IPO。从Facebook在纳斯达克上市首日的糟糕表现，到获悉其曾经向大型机构投资者选择性披露，整个IPO从头到尾就是一团糟。

    正如安德鲁·罗斯·索金9月份在《纽约时报》(New York Times)上所写，“Facebook的市值在90天内缩水超过了500亿美元。雷曼兄弟（Lehman Brothers）申请破产前一整年的市值缩水幅度也没这么多。”自那以来，Facebook股价有所反弹，但目前比IPO价格低28%。

    We couldn't possibly have an end-of-year IPO list without mentioning what some were calling the worst IPO of the decade, if not all time. From a bungled first day of trading on the Nasdaq to disclosures that the company had provided selective information to large institutional investors, the whole thing was a mess from start to finish.

    As Andrew Ross Sorkin wrote in the New York Times in September, "Facebook's market value has dropped more than $50 billion in 90 days. To put that in perspective, that's more market value than Lehman Brothers gave up in the entire year before it filed for bankruptcy." Facebook (FB) has rebounded some since, and it now trades at 28% below its offering price.
