6. Avantor Inc. (NYSE:AVTR)

Avantor saw its share prices fall for a third consecutive day, losing another 11.71 percent on Friday to finish at $19.16 apiece as investor sentiment was dampened by mixed earnings performance in the fourth quarter of the year.

While AVTR registered a 408-percent jump in net income for the fourth quarter of 2024, net revenues, however, dipped to $1.69 billion from $1.7 billion.

Net income in full year 2024 also surged by 121 percent to $711.5 million from $321.1 million year-on-year.

Higher net income was boosted by a surge in operating income for both the fourth quarter and the full year.
