The S&P 500 stock index was essentially flat for 2015. However, the 10 worst performing stocks dropped over 50%, and some by 75% or more. Dividends are included in calculations.
10. Energy oil company Murphy Oil Corp. (NYSE: MUR) shares fell 53.9% to $22.45. Like many of the worst performing stocks in the S&P, oil and gas prices ruined their sales and earnings.
9. Marathon Oil Corp.’s (NYSE: MRO) stock dropped 54.1% to $12.59. It is unlikely that its performance will improve much until the price of crude does.
8. NRG Energy Inc. (NYSE: NRG) shares fell 57.2% to $11.77.
7. Shares of Micron Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: MU) dropped 59.6% to $14.16, as the prices the company could get for its DRAM products collapsed.
