Shares of the New York-based exchange and custodian closed at $32 each on Friday, above the $28 per share IPO price, after a volatile session that saw the stock halted twice. The company had previously told investors it expected to cap the base size of its IPO at $425 million and to potentially sell fewer shares than it first proposed, Bloomberg News reported earlier.
