Streaming service Roku tumbled on Tuesday after Citron Research reversed its long position on the company, calling it “uninvestable.”

Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU) was down 9,% after surging 25% on Monday after it released its early viewership numbers for the fourth quarter, which were higher than expected at 27 million.

Meanwhile, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) rose 0.6%, while Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) fell 1.7%.

The S&P 500 Communication Services index was up 0.3%.
