20% of customers leaving doesn't equal 20% revenue decline. Unless you make the delusive assumption that all customers buy the same number of products/service at the same price. And it also assumes that all the customers leave at about same time. any high volume industry suffers from churn and many of those that leave might have left anyway. the bottom line is it's too broad an assumption overall.

If they did, revenue would be off
by
20%. If that happened, stock prices would reflect it IMMEDIATELY. Therefore, either by a happy coincidence only the lousy, unprofitable customers leave, or the number is not correct.
