The valuation of mobile advertising network Millennial Media (NYSE:MM) jumped to almost $2 billion in early trading after making its New York Stock Exchange debut.
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.
