Hi-Crush Partners LP (HCLP)Hi-Crush Partners is getting crushed today, down 23.78% at $15.51. The mining and sands company (sands used in hydro-fracking) saw its shares deteriorate after news was released that a large contract was being cancelled. Hi-Crush announced that Baker Hughes was terminating a supply agreement with the company. Hi-Crush filed suit in a Texas court seeking damages because it thinks the termination was an attempt by Baker Hughes to get out of purchase requirements under the agreement. However, Hi-Crush's management stated that it was an isolated incident and would not affect the company or its distributions. Regardless, investors fled the recently public company, dropping share prices to below the IPO price, and setting a new 52-week low.
