LQR House shares took a nosedive, falling over 20%, after the e-commerce platform announced the abandonment of its special dividend plans. The Miami Beach-based company had initially seen a surge in share prices following the announcement of a proposed special payout of up to $1 per share. However, the board ultimately decided against the early issuance of the dividend due to potential risks. Instead, they opted to increase the company’s stock-buyback program from $2 million to $5 million. As a result, shares are currently trading at $2.84, down 22%.
