Why Match Group Stock Tumbled 15% in January

Shares of dating service app Match Group (NASDAQ: MTCH) fell 15% in January, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. There was an initial price jump after the stock got an upgrade, and performance over the past few quarters has been excellent. The drop had more to do with the general macroeconomic environment that has been lowering prices for stocks with supersized valuations.
