by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Avon shares slid by more than 7% on Tuesday to around $7.53 a share.
Last month, the stock surged by more than 15% after the Wall Street Journal reported that it is exploring “strategic alternatives” for its North American business, meaning the company is looking for ways to improve its competitiveness.
