Why Pinterest Stock Tumbled on Tuesday
Shares of Pinterest (NYSE: PINS) took a hit on Tuesday, falling 5.5%. The growth stock's decline extends a brutal pullback after PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL) said on Sunday that it was not pursuing an acquisition of the company, dispelling rumors that PayPal could buy Pinterest for $70 per share.
News first broke on Oct. 20 that PayPal might have been considering buying Pinterest. The report initially sent shares soaring since the rumored buyout price up for consideration was $70, a 26% premium to where the stock was trading the previous day.
