One thing investors will want to keep in mind is that SunCar Technology is still incredibly new to the public market. The company made its debut last week through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger with Goldenbridge Acquisition Limited.

Shares of SDA stock debuted at $4.10 per share on May 18 and have been on the rise since. This saw the company’s stock close out trading on Thursday at $15.06 per share. However, it’s giving up some of those gains this morning with the stock down 27% during pre-market trading. This has it trading for about $11 per share as of Friday morning.
