[September 21, 2013]  NEW YORK (AP) -- Shares of FireEye more than doubled in their first day of trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

The technology company's stock surged as high as $44.85 in Friday trading, before paring back to $23.40, or 117 percent, to $43.40 at midday.

FireEye Inc. priced the initial public offering of approximately 15.2 million shares at $20 each. In a regulatory filing, the company initially planned to offer 14 million shares priced between $15 and $17 per share.
