Background: Redbubble is an online marketplace where artists can sell their artwork. But not just on a canvas, we're talkin' art on t-shirts, cushions, custom facemasks...you name it.
What happened: Between March 2020 and January 2021, Redbubble shares soared a whopping 1,300%. But after that? Things started going south.
What else: Redbubble just provided a trading update. Transactions are down. Profits are down. And profit margins have been crunched thanks to strong competition and poor loyalty. That's gotta hurt!
