Photographer: Daniel Carde/BloombergOverstock.com shares plummeted on Tuesday, with the stock dropping to its lowest level in more than seven years as it extended its longest streak of losses in more than a decade.
The slump came after the e-commerce company reported third-quarter results that missed expectations, and which featured a 21% drop in revenue from the prior year. It also filed for a possible offering of stock of up to $150 million of shares offered from time to time through a sales agent, JonesTrading, under a Capital on Demand sales agreement. The size of the potential offering is large relative to the size of the company overall; Overstock currently has a market capitalization of about $278 million.
