"Yeah, absolutely. So that is a company that is a provider of employee benefits like meal vouchers and it has been dealing with some regulatory hurdles uh in the past few years. So uh the reason why it's down this morning is because Brazil is planning a major regulatory changes to the country's mill voucher system. So in 90 days a cap of 3.6% 6% will be applying to the merchant discount rate which is the fee that is charged to merchants per transaction. Um and Eden Red said that it is really surprised by by this by by this decree by by Brazil and that it was significantly different from the discussions that it had had with the country. Um Bloomberg intelligence analysts are calculating that that means the um eBay dark could drop as much as 16% for Eden Red on the back of those regulatory changes in Brazil which is quite an important market for the company and that really explains that major weakness that we've seen in the stock."

Eden Red is under pressure as regulatory changes in Brazil are set to impose a new cap on the merchant discount rate, potentially leading to a 16% drop in its stock. This unexpected regulatory move, which diverges from previous discussions, underscores the risk and uncertainty facing the company in one of its key markets.
