Why Fluor Stock Is Falling Today

Shares of Fluor (NYSE: FLR) tumbled more than 12% by 10:30 a.m. EDT on Thursday. Driving down the engineering company's stock were its disappointing third-quarter results.

Fluor recorded a net loss of $782 million, or $5.57 per share. That was well below expectations that the company would report a profit of $0.30 per share. The culprit was a series of noncash charges it took during the quarter. Overall, it recorded $880 million in charges, which included writing down the value of some of its assets as well as for restructuring activities.
