Why Blue Apron Stock Popped Today
Shares of Blue Apron (NYSE: APRN) jumped today, a surprising move that came the day after the company turned in its third-quarter earnings report.

For the quarter past, the meal-kit provider said revenue fell 34% to $99.5 million, missing estimates at $107 million by a wide margin, though management attributed the revenue decline to a strategic pullback in marketing as the company seeks to focus on its highest-value customers.
