Lacklustre start for nine shares Nine Entertainment shares are tipped to make a successful debut on the ASX on Friday. ONE of the year's most anticipated public offerings, Nine Entertainment Co, has made a lacklustre debut on the Australian stock market. Nine shares began trading at noon and dipped below their list price within their first few minutes. By 1210, the shares had recovered slightly and were trading flat at their $2.05 list price. Analysts had predicted a fairly strong debut for the company, which owns the Nine Network, Ticketek and ninemsn, due to its relatively low listing price but expressed long term concerns about the company. Its list price put Nine's value at $1.93 billion, making it the biggest listing on the ASX this year.
