BBG was originally a private company (when first created in 1973). However due to it's popularity, Billabong International Limited (BBG) has been a publicly owned company (in Australia) since 2000. This now allows consumers to buy shares of Billabongs stock market, which can help BBG to expand into a larger company with the share money. However, due to recent events, it was extremely unfortunate to have shares of BBG due to a dramatic decrease of shares prices. As the graph displays, the stock market price of Billabong decreased to 0.14 on the 21st of June 2013. However, Billabong is slowly getting back onto its feet with the most recent share price at 0.59 (24th August 2013), though this new light on BBG will definitely decrease the popularity of the brand.
