The stock closed at 9.11 euros yesterday, 35 percent more than the rights offering price.
It closed Monday at $30.40 — 138 percent above its initial offering price of $12.80, but down 39 percent from its $50 high.
Investors didn't flock to WSP even after it reduced its offering price.

SJM, which went public in July after repeatedly cutting its offering price to entice a sceptical market, has seen its valuation cut in half.
The offering price is near or at $58.

In 4 p.m. trading, WSP Holdings was at $8.54, slightly higher than its offering price of $8.50.
