Yelp's stock price plummeted 5.20% at the open on Tuesday, as shares came under significant selling pressure.
The sharp decline followed news that JP Morgan cut its price target on Yelp Inc to $22 from $30, representing a substantial reduction in the firm's valuation outlook for the company.
Analyst target price revisions are closely watched by investors as signals of changing sentiment toward a company's future earnings potential and stock valuation.
