Why Oasis Midstream Units Plunged 15% at the Open Today

Shares of Oasis Midstream (NASDAQ: OMP) sold off sharply at the open on June 25, losing 15% of their value in the first few minutes of Wall Street trading. The big event driving that drop was an after-the-market news release on June 24. Here's a quick look at what the company said that has investors so upset.
