After BigCommerce (BIGC) went public, technology investors bet that the company would find the same returns as Canada’s success story, Shopify (SHOP). In the months following its initial public offering, speculators realize the stock is offering nothing more than trading on the “pop” (bounce upwards).
With momentum drying up and fundamentals questioned, markets are re-evaluating its valuations to the downside. Investors should not bet against the Bears, who have a massive short position on the stock.
