As ações do Facebook despencaram mais de 7% nesta quinta-feira, para o menor nível desde o IPO da rede social, eliminando mais de US$ 4 bilhões em valor de mercado da empresa depois que o primeiro de vários períodos de retenção de venda dos papéis por detentores que têm relação com a companhia chegou ao fim.
A queda desta quinta-feira elevou a perda total do Facebook desde a estreia do site na bolsa em Maio para pouco menos de 50%, ou US$ 40 bilhões. A ação estreou a US$ 38 e exibia cotação de US$ 19,95 às 12h46 (horário de Brasília).
Mais de 270 milhões de ações foram destravadas, mais da metade dos 421 milhões de papéis vendidos na oferta pública inicial (IPO) de maio.
"Se (o valor de) sua carteira está sendo cortado pela metade, você vai ficar parado e arriscar o resto?", disse Frank Davis, diretor na LEK Securities, em Nova York.
O Facebook, maior rede social do mundo com 955 milhões de usuários, tem visto queda em suas ações desde a estreia que havia definido valor de mais de US$ 100 bilhões para a empresa.
Preocupações sobre o lento crescimento de receita da companhia e sobre sua capacidade de produzir dinheiro com propaganda em aparelhos portáteis como celulares têm pressionado as ações.
Analistas afirmaram que não ficou claro se o movimento de baixa desta quinta-feira está relacionado ao destravamento das ações ou se os acionistas estão vendendo diante das preocupações sobre o impacto potencial das vendas promovidas pelos detentores dos papéis que até agora estavam impedidos de realizar lucro com eles.
Outras 243 milhões de ações serão liberadas para negociação entre meados de outubro e novembro. Em 14 de novembro mais de 1,2 bilhão de papéis da empresa estarão disponíveis para operação. Até lá, o presidente do Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, não poderá vender suas ações.
Facebook's shares tumbled more than 7% on Thursday, to the lowest level since the IPO of social networking, eliminating more than $ 4 billion in market value of the company after the first of several periods of retention of venda papers by holders who have relationship with the company ended.
The fall on Thursday raised its total loss since the debut of the Facebook site in her purse in May to just under 50%, or $ 40 billion. The action opened at $ 38 and wore quoted at U.S. $ 19.95 at 12h46 (GMT).
Over 270 million shares were unlocked, over half of the 421 million shares sold in the initial public offering (IPO) in May.
"If (the value of) your wallet is being cut in half, you will be stopped and risking the rest?" Said Frank Davis, director at LEK Securities in New York.
Facebook, the world's largest social network with 955 million users, has seen its shares fall in debut since it was set worth more than $ 100 billion for the company.
Concerns about the slow growth of the company's revenue and about their ability to make money with advertising on mobile devices including cell phones have pushed the shares.
Analysts said it was unclear if the move lower on Thursday is related to the unlocking of the shares or if shareholders are selling in the face of concerns about the potential impact of sales promoted by the holders of the papers which were so far unable to make profit them.
Additional 243 million shares will be released to negotiation between mid-October and November. On November 14, more than 1.2 billion of the company's papers will be available for operation. Until then, the president of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, can not sell their shares.
