The recent nosedive taken by Interpublic Group’s stock has led investors to offload their shares in droves—a fire sale that raises questions about IPG’s leadership and future.

Shares of IPG reached their lowest point in a year on Monday, trading at just $7.25 per share. Investors took notice. Some 5.8 million IPG shares were traded in one day alone; in an average month, about 14 million shares of the company change hands.

This most recent financial calamity does not bode well for the future of the company, and it might spell trouble for CEO Michael Roth.
