Another big loser on Tuesday afternoon is G-III Apparel Group, Ltd.

Among the firms that we track, 20 were long G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (NASDAQ:GIII) on December 31. The largest stake was that of Columbus Circle Investors, the fund managed by Clifford G. Fox, which declared holding 1.29 million shares valued at more than $57 million as of the end of 2015.

Also tumbling on its latest financial results is Mattress Firm Holding Corp (NASDAQ:MFRM), which is down by roughly 10% this afternoon. On late Monday, the retailer reported fourth quarter earnings of $0.53 per share, $0.03 below the Street’s consensus, on revenue of $618.55 million, which missed expectations by $3.81 million. In addition, President and ex-COO Ken Murphy was appointed as the company’s new chief executive officer, while Steve Stagner was chosen to serve as the executive chairman of the company and chairman of its board of directors.

Mattress Firm Holding Corp (NASDAQ:MFRM) was a popular stock among the investors that we track in the fourth quarter, as it saw a 30% increase in hedge fund support. 17 held long positions in the company on December 31, and owned 30% of the company’s outstanding stock. David S. Winter and David J. Millstone’s 40 North Management, which was the largest shareholder in our system at the end of last year, continued to boost its exposure to the stock during the first quarter of 2016, taking its holding to 3.63 million shares as of February 18, from 3.08 million shares at the end of 2015.

Finally, there’s CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ:CAMP), which has lost roughly 10% since the bell rang this morning.

CEO Michael Burdiek blamed the lower than expected sales on “MRM product supply constraints and the slow responsiveness of a supply chain partner following the Chinese New Year,” which was exacerbated by “irregular order flow for MRM products following the year-end holidays.”
