Here are five key points explaining the approximate -58.7% stock movement for Banzai International (BNZI) from August 31, 2025, to December 4, 2025:
1. Disappointing Q3 2025 Financial Results
On November 14, 2025, Banzai International reported its third-quarter 2025 financial results, with revenue reaching $2.8 million.
