What to Know About SDA Stock

One thing investors will want to keep in mind is that SunCar Technology is still incredibly new to the public market. The company made its debut last week through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger with Goldenbridge Acquisition Limited.

Shares of SDA stock debuted at $4.10 per share on May 18 and have been on the rise since. This saw the company’s stock close out trading on Thursday at $15.06 per share. However, it’s giving up some of those gains this morning with the stock down 27% during pre-market trading. This has it trading for about $11 per share as of Friday morning.

One thing investors will want to consider before investing in SDA stock is its SPAC merger. Companies that go public via SPAC mergers have a tendency to be more volatile. That’s doubly true in the few weeks after they’ve gone public.
