Why TripAdvisor Stock Was Crashing Today

Separately, in a surprise move, TripAdvisor announced a special dividend of $3.50 a share and said it would form a joint venture with Trip.com (NASDAQ: TCOM), the Chinese online travel agency formerly known as Ctrip.

The stock was down 19.5% as of 12:19 p.m. EST.
