The stock sank to 72.9 fils on Wednesday as the route that began on June 14 intensified. The company has lost more than a third of its value in nine days, the longest losing run in four years. Meanwhile, Dubai’s main stock gauge climbed 0.4% as of 10:30 am local time.

Drake & Scull said on Tuesday there’s no reason why its stock should plummet.
