Papa John’s International Inc.
The stock in question is Papa John’s International Inc. (NASDAQ:PZZA), one of the largest pizza-delivery restaurant chains in the United States.
The company’s Momentum score in Benzinga’s Edge Rankings dropped from 74.62 to 29.39 within the span of a week, primarily due to its third-quarter results last week, when the company’s earnings and revenues fell short of consensus estimates.
Net income dropped sharply from $42 million last year to just $4 million, while same-store sales dropped 3% year-over-year.
The stock is down 10.65% over the past month, and 5.82% year-to-date, after private equity firm Apollo Global Management Inc. (NYSE:APO) withdrew its bid to take the company private, leading the stock to plunge.
