Hey all, I was having trouble finding a stock quote for ArenaNet. I need one for a class (I was asked to bring in a quote of a company that I would enjoy working for) and I can't seem to find one.
I figured this was one of the best places to ask. Thanks for the help!

ncsoft owns arena.net.. so they have the stocks, not anet
It's very possible that ArenaNet isn't a publicly traded company, which means they don't have stock.
Ah, ok thanks. Found NCSoft. It will be interesting to see if they shoot up on the GW2 release date...
IF they do.... investors live more on a wimp then i ever tought possible

Their stock might go up based on many factors because NCSoft is currently making a lot of changes to their games that would attract a lot of players...starting with L2 going F2P then, if not first, GW2 release with no sub. The more players they can attract, the more value their stock will be perceived.
All I'm saying is, you might need to do some calculations to isolate the GW2 influence on the stock value.

Couldn't I just keep an eye on it until the GW2 release and then see how that first day/week affects it?
Theoretically the market will price / has already priced in the potential growth from GW2 prior to its release.
The only reason you would see a sharp increase or decrease is if initial sales come in way lower or higher than analysts expect.
Very few releases have affected Blizzard Activison's stock price, for instance. However, when they reported that WoW lost 800k subs or whatever the number was a few days ago, the stock price tanked.
I don't know if NC-soft owns A-net... All i know is that NC-soft is the publisher of GW2 and A-net the producer... They have a buisenessdeal, but thats about all i know for sure....
I tought Arenanet was still privately owned...

Nah, they're a subsidiary of NCsoft.
One of those rare occasions i help here, but i like to keep information crystal clear and as this is more about helping with education, figure facts are important.
This is from the arenanet website (http://www.arena.net/aboutus/)
Located in Bellevue, Washington, ArenaNet is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Korea-based NCsoft
Now wholly-owned subsidiary means that 100% of the stocks for that company, in this case Arena net, is owned by NCsoft.
Which means that all stock information would be under NCsofts name, not Arena net.
Just for clarification purposes only. Hope that helps OP.

Thanks Whilan, thats a really clear answer for sure.Best MMO experiences : EQ(PvE), DAoC(PvP), WoW(total package) LOTRO (worldfeel) GW2 (Artstyle and animations and worlddesign) SWTOR (Story immersion) TSW (story) ESO (character advancement)
Not that simple. The stock value might start to go up on the announcement of the release date, and possibly go down on release day depending on how many people pre-ordered or a slight increase on the release day since the number started going up prior to release.
It also matter when the release day will be -- it can either be before summer or before winter, anything in between will not show a sudden change.

NC soft are incredibly smart by publicly saying they have different versions with respect to character generation. This weeks demo caters towards Asians which only makes sense since they are targeting Asia this week. Blizzard are doing the same thing after their huge exodus of players, targeting the Chinese with Panda's. Brilliant business strategy.
It was my understanding, from multiple posts on GW2Guru by Arena Net community managers, that there isn't two different versions. They just have an extremely broad and advanced character customization system with those asian-esque faces preset for the demo purposes. Everything shown in that demo will be available to the west as well, minus the high level armor in low level zones.
