Koppers Holdings (KOP) in Focus: Stock Tumbles 8.0% - Tale of the Tape - Celanese (NYSE:CE), Compass Minerals Intl (NYSE:CMP)

Koppers Holdings Inc. KOP saw a big move last session, as the company's shares fell 8% on the day. The move came on pretty good volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This continues the recent downtrend for KOP, as the stock is now down over 13% since Apr 16.

Although this slump was obviously disappointing, this carbon compounds and commercial wood treatment producer has seen 1 positive revision and its current year earnings consensus has moved higher over the past few weeks. This suggests that the recent slump might be a temporary blip on the radar for KOP. So make sure to keep an eye on this stock going forward to see if yesterday's price decline is confirmed by more weakness, or if it can rebound in the weeks ahead.

KOP currently has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
