Sherman · Answer 1

With rising interest rates most people will have less of an incentive to take out loans which will cause a slowing in economic activity on a macro scale. This slowing of economic activity is likely the cause of fineline corporation's stock price fall rather than having a smaller decrease in revenue than expected.
