Facebook Shares Plunge Again at Open


The selloff in Facebook shares deepened on Tuesday, as investors continued to question the stock’s valuation after Reuters reported that underwriters cut their revenue forecasts for the company before the IPO.

Facebook’s shares hit a low of $30.98 on Tuesday, 8.9 percent below Monday’s close, and a loss of 18 percent from their $38 IPO price.

At the low, the stock had lost 30 percent from an intraday high of $45 hit shortly after trading started on Friday.

More than 28 million shares had traded in early action on Tuesday, making it one of the most actively traded in U.S. markets.
