Key Points

What happened
Shares of footwear maker and retailer Allbirds ( NASDAQ:BIRD) fell sharply as soon as trading got underway on Dec. 1, losing as much as 10% of its value at one point in the first half hour of trading.

On the top line, Allbirds reported sales of $62.7 million in the third quarter of 2021. That's an impressive 33% gain compared to the same quarter in 2020 and 40% above its third-quarter 2019 tally.
