Today’s 10 Worst-Performing Stocks

2. Avantor Inc. (NYSE:AVTR)

Avantor lost 6.73 percent of its value on Wednesday, a third straight day, over the lack of a fresh catalyst to buoy investing appetite and lingering concerns amid downgraded outlooks.

AVTR, a life science tools company that aims to provide mission-critical products and services to the life sciences and advanced technology industries, earned a generally pessimistic outlook from analysts recently due to missed earnings estimates.

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. Revenue figures missed the $1.71 billion mark as expected by analysts.

Meanwhile, net income in the full year of 2024 also surged by 121 percent to $711.5 million from $321.1 million year-on-year.
