BuzzFeed Inc. shares fell in their first day of trading, a sign investors are wary of the digital media company after a shaky lead-up to its public debut.
The stock, which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol BZFD, was down 12% at 11:15 a.m. in New York, after surging earlier in the day. Shares of the blank-check company that BuzzFeed merged with to go public had closed at $9.62 on Friday.
