Data security software provider FireEye was the darling of Wall Street early on Friday when its stock more than doubled after a $303.6 million IPO.
The IPO shares of the Milpitas-based company led by CEO David DeWalt sold at $20 on Thursday, giving the company a $2.3 billion valuation, but soared as high as $44.75 in Friday morning trading. Its stock closed at $36.
FireEye's offering was one of two hot IPOs by Silicon Valley companies on Thursday. Advertising technology company Rocket Fuel's stock also doubled after it stock raised $116 million in an IPO.
FireEye plans to use the money to expand its work force and push ahead with sales, marketing and product development.
