Personally, I feel the reason this happens is that a given company needs capital to move into new markets, for instance into China or perhaps to support a newer market developing in the US or the rest of the world, and or to pay out huge bonuses to their CEOs and CFOs etc, or perhaps one of their executives is selling all their stock on the earnings date.
They can get capital from borrowing, but that costs more money than to sell a 19% stake in their own shares of the company or through a broker acting on their behalf. This might be considered illegal, but done through "other agents" it is shakey at best, not actually illegal.
And companies that are struggling to grow don't like speculators investing in them anyways. They want long term investors! Without those long term investors, they cant have the free capital to keep growing unless they borrow money and if money is costing too much to borrow in a mid or small cap company, they will get more stock sold than is being bought and they will take the capital gain and buy whatever they need to expand. |

Various reasons: maybe the market expected even better profits or prospects. And often it's an application of the proverb: buy the rumor, sell the news. |

Expectations may be too high. There's a slogan in the market, buy on the rumor, sell on the news. |

Bear markets are driven by fear and uncertainty, not "logic." When the tide goes out, all ships float lower. |

It depends on the stock - if you have one in mind let us know.
Often it is simply a matter of expectation - what people talk about as "priced in". If a company is coming up to publishing results, then the market may be expecting/hoping for a 10% sales growth yoy, and hence the shares will trade as though that is what they have been told. When the results only say an 8% increase (which is still good) the market is dissappointed so falls.
19% is a long way, so it could be a combination of poor market conditions on the day, coupled with over-eager forecasts. |

One reason is market expectation. If a co reports profits up 50% and the market have been expecting 75% well you know the rest. The market is also trying to discount the future, or there may be a statement by the CEO saying the co's profits ar up 50% (remember that's the year just gone) is facing a dificult year and the order book is well down on last year.
The market in general mya be well down on other macro bad news (US going into recession) etc.etc. |

when market sentiment is bearish speculators (big traders) push down all stocks irrespective of good or bad. however, good stock bounce back earlier than others. bad stock continue to stay back bottom line. |
