Slack ($WORK) shares are slacking, but it doesn't look like the devs have been.
According to Thinknum's tracking of Apple ($AAPL) Store Ratings over time, as Slack has added more ratings, it has also added happier users. Ratings rose steadily over 5% as Slack got ready for its market debut, our first chart shows. That's the second chart, below - it shows Apple store ratings rising about 33% over the course of this year. So, it means that as Slack earns more ratings, more of those ratings are positive.
There are a few Wall Street narratives that tend to hold up across sector lines, borders, you name it - and job postings aligning with stock performance tends to be one of them. Our last chart tracks just that - Slack's job postings have declined 28% as the company's shares have fallen post-market-debut, in late April of this year.
It may be time to wonder whether Slack stock is oversold. The company will announce earnings on December 4 and analysts tracked by Zacks Investment Research are looking for EPS losses of -$0.09.
