Better Home & Finance Holding Company (Better.com) saw its shares hit new lows in its first day of trading following a SPAC merger with Aurora Acquisition Corp. The company had previously faced controversy when CEO Vishal Garg fired 900 employees over a Zoom call. An SEC investigation into potential securities law violations was concluded earlier this month, clearing the way for the merger. On its market debut, Better.com saw around 90% of its valuation wiped out, with shares crashing to $1.10 and closing the day at $1.20.
