Candy Crush is Worth $7.1 Billion

My name is Ezra Grant and I like Candy Crush. But apparently I’m not the only addict in this candy store.

Candy Crush went on the stock market today as a publicly traded company with shares valued at $22.50 a share, making the candy game a $7.1 billion company.

Sweet.

The public offering of King marks the largest of its kind for the mobile gaming industry, beating out Zynga, which was valued at $7 billion, but lost half of its value after its 2011 IPO.
