Can Blue Apron Stock Bounce Back After Last Week's 11% Drop?

Blue Apron (NYSE: APRN) has a new and formidable competitor, and that's been enough to turn an already broken IPO into one of this year's worst performers among market debutantes. Shares of the meal-kit provider for foodies took an 11% hit during the week. Blue Apron has now surrendered nearly 35% of its value since going public at $10 late last month.
