The move came on pretty good volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This continues the recent downtrend for FRAN the stock is now down nearly 20% in the past one-month time frame.

This plunge shouldn't be too much of a surprise to investors, as the retail footwear company has seen 2 negative revision in the past few weeks and its current year earnings consensus has moved lower over the last 30 days.
