stock collapse
Share value plummet
A stock collapse is a rapid, severe decline in the price of a stock or the broader market.
Unlike gradual downturns, a collapse suggests sudden loss of value—often triggered by panic selling, economic crisis, or loss of confidence: The stock collapse wiped out billions in market value overnight.
The term implies dramatic, sometimes catastrophic decline rather than ordinary market fluctuation.
