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.
The initial report from WSJ said the company is looking to sell some or all of this unit. But according to a New York Post story published late Tuesday, this process isn’t going very well.
