Monday was the first day that analysts at firms in the underwriting syndicate were freed up to cover shares of GoDaddy Inc. (NYSE: GDDY) and Virtu Financial Inc. (NASDAQ: VIRT). It turns out that GoDaddy was given mostly favorable coverage, while Virtu’s license to print money was not given that great of analyst coverage. We have seen a very cautious stance against Etsy Inc. (NASDAQ: ETSY).
