IEX Shares Plunge After Regulatory Decision; Retail Investors Hit

Imagine a company called IEX that helps sell electricity.

The government decided to change how electricity prices are set, which made IEX's stock price go way down.

This new system, called market coupling, will create a single price for electricity, which could affect IEX's business.

Because of this change, many investors, especially people who own small amounts of shares, lost money.

The company's value decreased significantly in one day.

Some experts think that the sluggish growth and renewable energy supply has impacted the stock.
