Shares of Navan, an expense management platform with a focus on travel, closed at $20, down 20% in first-day trading on Thursday.
The company had priced its shares at $25 each late Wednesday, but lackluster investor demand led to a decline in stock price.
Navan, formerly known as TripActions, raised $923.1 million in its IPO, with an initial valuation of around $6.2 billion, and its shares are trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker NAVN.
