** Citi maintains "sell" rating, says loss of the contract with Google raises further concerns around the market fit of company's products

** Increasing market competition can be a factor behind recent revenue weakness around its business with Meta Platforms-owned META.O Facebook - brokerage

** Appen stock fell 71.4% in 2023
