Royal Philips NV (PHG) shares plummeted 5.93% during intraday trading on Wednesday, experiencing significant downward pressure.
The sharp decline appears to be driven by investor confusion following negative news associated with the ticker "PHG". Reports surfaced regarding a corruption case involving a company named Permata Hijau Group, which shares the same stock ticker "PHG" but is a separate entity from Royal Philips NV. The news detailed a lawyer's concerns about potential manipulation by the Attorney General's Office after the company won a civil case, creating negative sentiment mistakenly associated with the health technology firm.
