The stock market is down Wednesday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 0.12%, the Nasdaq down 0.76% and the S&P 500 down 0.42%. Today’s only winner is a pharmaceutical company that has been in correction for the past two days. Meanwhile, one of today’s losers had a subsidiary that withdrew an initial public offering, while another loser is a pharmaceutical company that delayed publishing the results of a study.

These are Wednesday’s market winner and losers.
