NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
Facebook (FB, Fortune 500), King Digital Entertainment (KING) and International Game Technology (IGT) are all making waves for different reasons.
Trading volume in Facebook shares could be higher than usual as investors react to the company's $2 billion acquisition of virtual reality firm Oculus VR. Facebook shares dipped in pre-market trading.
Shares in King, maker of the popular online game Candy Crush Saga, begin trading after its initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange was priced at $22.50 a share, raising nearly $500 million and valuing the company at about $7.6 billion.
King is one of 14 companies going public this week.
