Dinner delivery service Marley Spoon slipped in its ASX debut on Monday but computer chip maker Pivotal Systems went flying.

Marley Spoon (ASX:MMM) raised $70 million selling shares at $1.42 each — but the stock unfortunately didn’t look like matching its issue price today.

The stock opened at $1.25 and hit a low of $1.14 before closing down 16 per cent at $1.195. About $2.2 million of shares changed hands.

“It is still day one in our mission to bring delightful, market-fresh and easy cooking back to the people, as we provide alternatives to supermarket for weeknight cooking,” Marley Spoon head chef Fabian Siegel told Stockhead in a statement.

It was a different story for US-based Pivotal Systems (ASX:PVS) which uses machine learning software to design cheaper, faster computer chip manufacturing processes for the likes of Samsung and Texas Instruments.

Pivotal raised $53.5 million selling shares at $1.86.

The stock spiked to $2.40 at open, went on to hit $2.70 and finished the day at $2.59 — up 39 per cent. Punters spent $4.6 million trading the shares.

Meanwhile drone crash landing preventer Parazero (ASX:PRZ) was also drifting lower after listing last week (see below).
