Stock price at today's close of $9.14 is down 42.33% from its high of $15.85 on 9/5/18, down 23.83% down from the IPO of $12.00; and, 23.19% lower than it was last Thursday.


One of the key strategies involved in this IPO was to limit the number of outstanding, or floating shares to the general public.


That is, go public without actually going "public" ~ Mesa's stock is held 71.34% by Institutions, other entities (AA), and hedge funds, and 3.77% is held by Insiders, Officers, and Directors, thus leaving only 24.89% of the stock floating in the "market".


This limits the company's exposure to PIA type lawsuits about stock manipulation, insider trading, and the like ~ there is simply not enough stock even available to create this.
