An investor who bought at the very peak is down 96% today. The business is the same; what changed most is the price — and the expectations — the market pins on it.
Over the last 3 years, sales grew about 12% a year on average.
The average analyst price target is $6.14 — 213% above today’s price.
A loss of $2.0B against $9.7B in annual sales. And on top of that, sales fell from the year before.
