Tripadvisor stock took a nosedive, sinking 30%, after the company rejected the idea of a potential sale. The company’s board of directors had formed a special committee to evaluate proposals for a transaction or alternatives. However, the committee determined that there is currently no transaction with a third party that is in the best interests of the company and its stockholders. This news caused the stock to spiral 29% on Wednesday, marking its largest one-day percentage decline on record. While the special committee will continue to evaluate proposed alternatives, there is no guarantee that a deal will result. In its fiscal first quarter, Tripadvisor reported adjusted earnings of 12 cents a share, surpassing Wall Street’s estimate of four cents.
