Shares in Gogo Slip in Market Debut

After a promising debut, shares in Gogo Inc. have hit some turbulence.

The in-flight Internet service provider's shares fell $1 in their first day of trading, closing at $16 on Friday. The company priced its initial public offering Thursday night at $17 a share, the top of its expected range.

Through its stock sale, Gogo raised about $187 million and was valued at almost $1.5 billion.

Though a familiar name to business travelers everywhere - it is the leading provider of WiFi on flights by Delta Air Lines, American Airlines and others - the company drew some concern among investors and analysts. While Gogo's revenues have climbed steadily over the past three years, to $233.5 million last year, it has posted losses applicable to its common stock over the same time.

The company now trades on the Nasdaq stock market under the ticker symbol “GOGO.”

Gogo's offering was led by Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase and UBS.
