Other notable successes include Life360, Rubrik, and Serve Robotics. In contrast, Webtoon Entertainment has lost about one-third of its value, Gauzy’s shares have declined by approximately 50%, and Ibotta is down around 17%. In biotech, CG Oncology's stock increased by 90% due to positive trial results, while Ceribell's shares rose 70%. However, Metagenomi has faced an 80% drop, FibroBiologics lost over two-thirds of its value, and Fractyl Health has also seen declines exceeding 80%. Overall, 56% of the 168 companies that debuted in 2024 trade above their initial prices, with an aggregate total return of about 8%, falling short compared to the 35% rise in the Nasdaq Composite Index.
