The stock went straight up after its IPO and it used its highly valued paper to make many acquisitions. But the market changed, the stock went way down and acquisitions would have to be made with much less share value. There was an expectation that it might be the next Shopify but this didn't happen. They're now keeping the balance sheet OK and doing a strategic review since the company might be sold. It has a premium because of that possibility.
It is part of a common theme - a lot of tech related higher multiple stocks are in for tougher times. We had a long tech cycle which fell substantially last year.
