    The stock market has recently seen significant declines among several companies, with notable shifts in their stock values. This analysis focuses on the top losers, examining their price movements, relevant events, and company developments.

    SunCar Technology Group Inc. (DA">NASDAQDA) experiences a dramatic 37.68% drop in its stock price to $5.26. Despite its role in digitalized automotive after-sales service and online insurance intermediation in China, the decline may be linked to its recent announcement of a follow-on public offering of up to $50 million in Class A Ordinary Shares. This move, along with a 30-day option for underwriters to purchase an additional $7.5 million in shares, might have influenced investor sentiment.

    Critical Metals Corp. Warrants (CRMLW) sees a 35.52% fall to $0.4127. As a company involved in lithium mining and exploration, fluctuations in the basic materials sector or specific news related to its Wolfsberg Lithium Project could have contributed to this decline. The volatility in lithium prices or changes in market demand might also play a role.

    BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc. (BTAI) experiences a 34.59% decrease, landing at $0.1955. Despite the drop, the company receives an upgrade to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), indicating growing optimism about its earnings prospects. This suggests potential upward movement in the stock price, reflecting investor confidence in its future performance.

    ReTo Eco-Solutions, Inc. (RETO) faces a 34.78% reduction to $0.54. The company receives a delisting determination notice from Nasdaq due to its Class A shares having a closing bid price of less than $1 for 30 consecutive business days. ReTo plans to appeal this determination to a hearings panel to prevent delisting, scheduled for February 7, 2025.

    Sensus Healthcare, Inc. (SRTS) sees a 33.21% decline to $6.0048. The company reports quarterly earnings of $0.09 per share, falling short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.10 per share. This is a decrease from the $0.26 per share earnings reported in the same quarter the previous year, possibly affecting investor confidence.

    These movements highlight the volatile nature of the stock market, where company-specific developments, sector trends, and broader economic factors can significantly impact stock prices. Investors and stakeholders closely monitor these changes to adjust their strategies accordingly.
