Sensata welcomes first-day trading with gain

By Galen Moore

In their first day trading on public markets, shares in Sensata Technologies Inc. (NYSE: ST) made a modest gain.

The Attleboro maker of sensor and control products priced its initial public offering at $18.08, the low end of a range published March 1. The company’s share price closed at $18.50 on Thursday, after peaking at $19 on a day when the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq were both up 0.4 percent.

Morgan Stanley, Barclays Capital, Goldman Sachs & Co., BofA Merrill Lynch, J.P. Morgan, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, BMO Capital Markets, Oppenheimer & Co. and RBC Capital Markets were among the IPO’s underwriters.

Sensata’s Dutch parent company, Sensata Technologies Holding BV, was launched when Bain Capital Partners bought Sensata from Texas Instruments in 2006.  

Sensata reported $1.4 billion in revenue in 2008.
