They didn&#x27;t meet revenue estimates and advised that the current quarter is going to be much worse than expected. Wall Street [typically] values companies based on future expected earnings and there is constant pressure to increase growth. The same compound math that gives quickly growing companies lofty valuations works in reverse when your revenues are declining.
