Twitter's stock falls toward longest losing streak in 7 months
Shares of Twitter Inc. (TWTR) fell 1.8% in premarket trading Tuesday, putting them on track for an eighth-straight loss, amid increasing uncertainty over Elon Musk's commitment to the buyout deal. An eighth-straight loss would the longest such streak since the eight-day stretch ending Oct. 29, 2021. Twitter's stock has plunged 25.8% over the past seven sessions, the worst seven-day performance since it plummeted 29.7% over the seven days ended March 19, 2020. Twitter's stock decline on Tuesday follows Tesla Inc. (TSLA) Chief Executive Musk saying the deal can't move forward until more information is provided by Twitter on fake/spam accounts, while Twitter said it was committed to completing the deal. Tesla's stock rose 2.2% ahead of the open. Twitter's stock has dropped 13.5% year to date through Monday, while the S&P 500 has lost 15.9%.
