Why is Adyen stock sliding today?

Adyen (ADYEN) shares fell 1.7% to €888.1 after announcing Niclas Neglen as its new CFO, pending approvals. Neglen, currently at Klarna, will join in February 2027. The company also partnered with Flatpay for European expansion, but the long transition period and broader market weakness weighed on the stock, which is down from its 52-week high of €1,600.8.
