Why Did Fiverr Stock Drop?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 10:08 pm

Fiverr stock dropped today after the company reported a wider than expected loss in its first quarterly report as a public company. The stock was down as much as 18% in early trading.

The loss was due to higher than expected expenses, which offset strong growth in revenue. Fiverr also said that it expects expenses to continue to be higher than previously forecast in the second quarter.

PRO TIP: Fiverr is a great platform for freelancers, but there are some risks associated with using the site. One of the biggest risks is that your account could be suspended or banned if you violate the site’s terms of service. Another risk is that you could be scammed by someone who creates a fake gig, or who doesn’t deliver on their promises. Finally, there is always the risk that the site could go out of business, which would mean that you would lose access to your account and any earnings you’ve accumulated.

Fiverr went public at $21 per share in early June, and the stock quickly doubled to around $42. But the stock has given up those gains in recent weeks, and today’s drop takes it back below its IPO price.

Fiverr is not the only recent IPO to struggle. Lyft, Pinterest, and Zoom have all seen their stocks drop after strong debuts. But Fiverr’s loss today is the biggest one-day percentage drop for any IPO this year.

The stock market has been volatile in recent weeks, and investors are increasingly concerned about a potential economic slowdown. That may be one reason why some of this year’s hottest IPOs have cooled off recently.
