Vipshop Holdings Limited (VIPS)

Vipshop is selling off its shares today, down 14.06% at $39.50. The Chinese online retailor saw its shares fall after lower guidance for the third quarter. Vipshop management now sees third quarter revenue of $365 million-$370 million, below Wall Street's view of $376.1 million. CEO Eric Shen said that he still expects strong returns for shareholders over the long-term. However, the lower guidance is weighing on investors especially with the worries surrounding the slowing economy in China. Regardless of the down swing today, Vipshop shares have done extremely well and are well above their 52-week low of $4.76.
