Panasonic Corporation (PC)Panasonic is trading in the red today, down 8.46% at $6.71. The electronic company saw its shares fall due to two significant reasons. First, Panasonic announced that it would be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The delisting is voluntary, and the company says the main reason for the delisting was that their primary goal for trading in the US was to expand its exposure in the US. The second reason that Panasonic is trading lower is that fact that the company announced it expected a loss of $8.1 billion for the fiscal year. Furthermore, the company's management said that it was contemplating leaving the TV industry, but only as a final resort. Panasonic is trading in the lower half of its 52-week range of $4.61-$9.28.
