Acacia Communications, Inc. (ACIA) is having a down day, but has still had an epic run since its May IPO
Networking stock
Acacia Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:ACIA) ranks among the
worst performers on the Nasdaq today. Specifically, the shares are down 9.5% at $107.97, as Wall Street reacts negatively to the firm's updated guidance and its filing for a
$450 million secondary offering.

Based on Acacia Communications, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:ACIA)
strong technical track record, this optimism shouldn't catch anyone by surprise. Even after accounting for today's losses, the shares have more than quadrupled in value relative to their initial public offering (IPO) price of $23 in mid-May.
