The enormity of the news makes it feel like several decades have passed since I was last @CNBC . As of today, though, I'm back from maternity leave. I have been awed by my colleagues and peers, covering the multi-faceted crises. I'm looking forward to reporting again.

$26 was Slack’s reference price, meaning shares weren’t sold at $26, therefore no one made a quick 49% return in one day. The shares opened at $38.50, rose as high as $42 and ended the day at $38.62. So unless you were a private investor, you made no more than 9% today

It's quite rare for an IPO to double on the first day of trading. Only 22 companies have done so since 2001, according to data by the University of Florida. But interestingly, many of them are food-related (Chipotle, Noodles & Co., Sprouts, Shake Shack, Potbelly, etc.) $BYND

Datadog closed at exactly $35.91 today. The wording in the S-1 indicates that Datadog must close at least 33% higher than its $27/SH IPO price, which means it must be at least $35.91. Someone let the dogs out...the stock is already down almost 2% in after-hours trading

Keep an eye on shares of Datadog, which has a unique lockup provision. If the shares close above $35.91 TODAY that will allow the company to release about 20% or 43.8 million of the locked up shares early (on Monday). $DDOG shares closed yesterday just 0.1% below that target

The Russell 2000 is up 24% since Christmas Eve, the third-best start to the year. Only 1987 and 1991 were better with multiples of 14.4x and 11.5x, respectively. Today, the multiple is 19.8x, causing analysts at Jefferies to say it’s time for small caps to take a ‘breather’
