Shares of Clover Health Corp (NASDAQ: CLOV) experienced a sharp decline of nearly 20% on November 7, 2024, as the healthcare technology company's third-quarter earnings report failed to meet investor expectations. The stock's steep fall was primarily driven by concerns over the company's revenue shortfall and dwindling cash reserves, raising doubts about its ability to sustain growth momentum.

For the third quarter, Clover Health reported revenue of $330.99 million, falling short of analysts' consensus estimate of $346.28 million. While the company managed to beat earnings expectations by reporting a smaller-than-anticipated loss, the revenue miss overshadowed the positive earnings surprise and sparked concerns about the company's growth prospects.

Further exacerbating investor concerns, Clover Health's cash position declined by a significant 20.9% compared to the end of the third quarter of 2023. The dwindling cash reserves raised questions about the company's financial health and capacity to fund future growth initiatives, prompting a wave of selling pressure.
