Zynga Stock Takes A Nosedive

Zynga's stock dropped to a record low 41 percent today with shares falling to $2.99 in after-hours trading. The stock closed at just over $5.00. The dropped also affected Facebook with its shares falling 7 percent.

The company posted a $22.8 million loss in the second quarter. "We are lowering our outlook to reflect delays in launching new games, a faster decline in existing web games due in part to a more challenging environment on the Facebook web platform, and reduced expectations for Draw Something," Zynga CEO Mark Pincus says.

When Zynga went public back in December 2011 its shares were worth around $10.00.

  • haha, your stocks are falling!
  • Do people still really play games on Facebook anymore? I'll admit I played Mafia Wars a fair bit back in its day, but all the games are just the same with different skins these days.
  • What happened to that Draw Something Tv show Zynga owns Draw Something sooooo........

  • Good. I hate Zynga
  • That's odd. Figured casual gaming was on the upswing.
  • The folks who sold draw something to zynga are looking smarter each day.

  • My prayers have been heard, there is a GOD...Death to Zynga and to all those stupid facebook games!!!
  • Easy come, easy go, eh?

    Ya makes ya money on the casuals, ya takes ya chances.

  • I dont know why but I really dislike Zynga, and this makes me smile. I dont want them to go out of business that would not be good for their employees, but being knocked down a peg or two would be good.
  • thank god lol

  • I say down with casual gaming it is the reason so many great games get craped on if they only sell a million units. Damn you Wii and Guitar Hero for inflating the numbers so bad.
  • Time for Draw Something to lie in its death bed along with Facebook games.
  • The problem is thier games are a short run. games like draw something and words with friends were a big hit, for while but then people got bored with them and moves on to other apps. Then again we're not entirely sure why Zygna is in  the ***. it just an opinion.

  • I'm not sad

  • Damn, that's one hell of a nosedive

  • Why do people hate Zynga so much?
  • Why do they even use stocks anymore it just seems like a death trap?

  • ewww facebook games

  • Yeah, eff ewwww to a terrible, evil company.  I will never play your games, and I hope you eat it and die and take Eff book with you.
