Reddit shares plunge almost 25% in two days, finish the week below first day closeReddit shares are plummeting after experiencing a rally stemming from the social media company's IPO last week.
Shares closed at $49.32, ending the week below their closing price on Reddit's first day of trading on the New York Stock Exchange. They closed at $50.44 last Thursday. Stock markets are closed on Good Friday.
Reddit shares began their downward spiral on Wednesday, when they sank about 11% to $57.75 at market close. That day, Hedgeye Risk Management described Reddit's stock as "grossly overvalued" in a report cited by Bloomberg News, adding the company was on the firm's "short bench."
Earlier this week, Reddit disclosed in a corporate filing that CEO Steve Huffman sold 500,000 shares. Ben Silverman, vice president of research at Verity, told CNBC the move was expected and represents just "a portion of his holdings."
