Paycom (NYSE:PAYC) Software, Inc. (NYSE:PAYC) and Match Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:MTCH) experienced significant declines in their share prices on Tuesday due to weak fourth quarter and full-year revenue growth projections. Paycom's shares plunged 32% to $166.50, while Match Group's shares dipped 7.5% to $32.

Paycom Software's Q4 and 2024 projections, which were influenced by "strategic revenue decisions," resulted in half the projected revenue growth. The company's decision led to a steep fall in its share price as investors reacted to the news of reduced growth prospects.

Meanwhile, Match Group is anticipating weaker Q4 results and minimal full-year revenue growth due to forex issues and harsh macroeconomic conditions. The online dating company's shares took a hit as investors adjusted their expectations in light of these challenges.

In related news, WeWork, after defaulting on interest payments and contemplating chapter 11 in New Jersey, saw its shares plummet 43% to $1.29. The coworking space company's financial troubles were reported by The Wall Street Journal earlier this week.
