Another day, another all-time low for Facebook's share price. The shares lost 83 cents, or 3.8 per cent, to close Wednesday at $US20.88.
That is 45 per cent below its initial public offering price of $US38.
Shares briefly hit $US20.84 during the day. The previous low was $US21.61, reached on Tuesday.
The stock has been falling since Facebook released quarterly earnings last Thursday for the first time as a public company. Investors were disappointed despite second-quarter results
meeting Wall Street expectations, with revenue one-third higher than last year.
