Facebook’s Stock Tumbles Again, Value Drops By More Than $50 Billion

NEW YORK (CNN) — Facebook’s stock is sliding for the second day in a row.

Here’s How To Keep Your Facebook Profile Information Private

Shares of Facebook fell another 5 percent Tuesday on the heels of the company’s worst day in four years. More than $50 billion has been wiped off Facebook’s market value this week.

Investors punished Facebook after Cambridge Analytica, which had ties to President Trump’s 2016 campaign, reportedly accessed information from about 50 million Facebook users to influence voters.

The company’s slump has spread to the broader market, dragging down tech and social media companies. The S&P 500’s tech sector lost 2 percent Tuesday, with Twitter’s 9 percent tumble leading the way. Snap Inc. fell 4 percent.

Facebook has become one of America’s most valuable companies, with a market cap of around $500 billion. Its $50 billion loss in market value this week is larger than the market valuations of Ford, eBay and Delta.

Lawmakers in both the United States and UK are calling for founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg to testify about what he know about the compromised data and Facebook’s policies to protect user privacy.

Zuckerberg holds around 400 million shares of Facebook, and he has lost about $7 billion in value since Friday’s market close.

He still owns $70 billion worth of shares in the company, however, and his job is safe because he controls the majority of Facebook’s shareholder vote.

A drumbeat of negative headlines and the possibility of tighter regulations have caused investors to unload some of their assets in Facebook, said Benjamin Schachter, an analyst at Macquarie Capital, in a research note.

Facebook makes money by selling advertisements on its platform. If users log off because they’re worried about privacy, or if companies and advertisers slow spending on the site, Facebook’s model could be in jeopardy.

“Weaker user or ad growth are the most material risks to the stock,” Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak wrote in a note.

Both analysts expect Zuckerberg to go on offense to tamp down lawmakers’ pressure and restore investors’ confidence.

“We look for [Facebook] to become more assertive about the mistakes it has made, the unintended actions that have occurred on the platform, and how it intends to fix them,” Nowak said.
