The sell-off erased roughly $6 billion in market capitalization in a single session, pulling the stock from an open near $586 down to around $520. That decline is particularly sharp for a company that was carrying a valuation close to $46 billion — a price tag that leaves very little room for disappointment and demands consistent, high-octane growth from its body-camera and Taser business lines.
Stocks priced for flawless execution tend to punish any signal that the growth trajectory might be bending, and a double-digit one-day move is the market sending exactly that message. The chart shows the selling was steady and largely uninterrupted from the opening bell, with no meaningful recovery attempt until late in the session, suggesting conviction among sellers rather than a brief panic.
