Why analysts say Twitter could fall 30% more as Elon Musk pulls out of deal

While Twitter is off 23% for the year to date, that is a relatively modest decline compared with Pinterest, off 49%; Meta, off 51%; and Snap, down 70%

Now that Elon Musk has decided he would rather not own Twitter, Wall Street is scrambling to think through what happens from here, and what the company might be worth on a standalone basis.

Twitter shares plunged 11.3% on the news on 11 July, but still seemed priced to reflect the possibility a deal will still happen at a lower price. If there is no sale, Twitter stock could tumble another 30% from here, analysts say.
