Wednesday, the shares fell 17% to $4.80 a share after losing a quarter of their value on Tuesday. Its two “yieldcos,” TerraForm Power (TERP) and TerraForm Global (GLBL) were down 4% and 3% respectively Wednesday after drops about twice that size the day before.

SUNE is up a dime after setting a new all time low of $4.06 earlier today, the yieldcos are down 46 cents for the domestic, TERP, at $13.50 after it too set an all time low and down 48 cents for global which did not set a new all-time low.
