These 10 Stocks Were Wednesday’s Worst Performers

4. Danaher Corp. (NYSE:DHR)

Conglomerate Danaher Corp. saw its share prices drop by 9.65 percent on Wednesday to finish at $223.73 apiece after missing earnings per share expectations for the first time in years, having settled at $2.14 versus the $2.16 projection.

In addition, Danaher posted a bearish outlook for the first quarter of the year, anticipating a low single-digit drop in revenues at $5.6 billion as compared with analysts’ expectations of $5.9 billion. However, full-year earnings are projected to inch up by 3 percent year-on-year.

Despite the numbers, Danaher Corp. Chief Executive Officer Rainer Blair said that the company remains hopeful amid resilient order trends in bioprocessing and market share growth in molecular diagnostics.
