“Vaping company Juul Labs Inc. has cut its valuation to about $10 billion, an admission that the company once considered a Silicon Valley darling sees even more obstacles ahead. The latest valuation was as of the end of the third quarter, and it valued the company at $67.64 per share, Chief Executive Officer K.C. Crosthwaite said Thursday in a memo. The Wall Street Journal reported the valuation earlier. Juul had been valued at $38 billion in late 2018, when Altria Group Inc. took a 35% stake. Juul has since faced a series of regulatory setbacks and a raft of lawsuits from parents, school districts and state attorneys general.”
