The company, which appear under "MM" at the stock exchange, had previously upped share prices for its initial public offering (IPO) to $13 per share.
Millennial was initially going to be valued at around $974 million but early trading saw shares jump to $27.90 up 97 percent, before dropping back to end the day at $25.
