Why SmileDirectClub Plummeted by 21% on Tuesday

Tuesday was like a bad visit to the orthodontist for SmileDirectClub (NASDAQ: SDC). The teeth alignment specialist unveiled its latest set of quarterly figures, and investors found the numbers to be downright ugly. They punished the company by driving its stock price down by almost 21% on the day.
