On this list of top-performing stock debuts, six companies – Friday’s hot IPO Varonis Systems, plus BenefitfocusBNFT -4.23%, Rocket Fuel, Veeva, FireEyeFEYE -2.49% and MarketoMKTO -1.35% — sell software used in corporations. These firms aren’t cool tech darlings like Twitter, and they’ll never top the 450 million users of WhatsApp. But business-software firms are riding one of the biggest technology shifts since PCs went mainstream.
