We recently compiled a list of the 10 Stocks Drop by Double Digits Mostly Due to Disappointing Earnings. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Ambarella, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMBA) stands against the other stocks.

Wall Street’s main indices suffered a bloodbath on Thursday as overall investor sentiment was weighed down by President Donald Trump’s series of tariffs on goods from other countries.

The Dow Jones dropped by 0.45 percent, while the S&P declined 1.59 percent. Nasdaq, on the other hand, lost 2.78 percent.

On Thursday, Trump threatened to slap EU products with a 25-percent tax, following his announcement on Wednesday of another month of delay for the imposition of taxes on goods from Mexico and Canada.

Ten companies also mirrored wider market pessimism, posting double-digit declines, albeit the drop was predominantly due to dismal earnings performance last year.

To come up with Thursday’s worst performers, we considered only the stocks with $2 billion in market capitalization and $5 million in daily trading volume.
