Why Adairs, CBA, NextDC, and REA Group Shares Are Dropping Today
Why Adairs, CBA, NextDC, and REA Group Shares Are Dropping Today
The CBA share price is down over 1.5% to $141.43. This is despite there being no news out of Australia's largest bank. However, it is worth noting that all the big four banks are tumbling today. Some investors may be taking profit off the table following strong gains. For example, even after today's decline, the CBA share price is up over 38% since this time last year. This is more than triple the market return over the same period.The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) has given back its early gains and dropped into the red. In afternoon trade, the benchmark index is down 0.3% to 7,988.5 points.

今天下跌最厉害的四只ASX股票如下。这就是它们下跌的原因:
The Adairs share price is down 10% to $1.68. This has been driven partly by the homewares retailer's shares going ex-dividend this morning. Last month, the retailer released its full year results and declared a final fully franked dividend of 7 cents per share. Eligible shareholders can now look forward to receiving this payout next month on 8 October. In other news, this morning Adairs revealed that its interim chair, Kate Spargo, has resigned with immediate effect. Ms Spargo had been with the company for 9 years.
Adairs股价下跌10%，至1.68美元。这在一定程度上是由于这家家居零售商的股票今天早上除息。上个月，该零售商发布了全年业绩，并宣布每股发放7分全额分红。有资格的股东现在可以期待在10月8日的下个月收到这笔分红。另外，今天早上Adairs宣布其临时董事长Kate Spargo已立即辞职。Spargo女士在该公司工作了9年。
The CBA share price is down over 1.5% to $141.43. This is despite there being no news out of Australia's largest bank. However, it is worth noting that all the big four banks are tumbling today. Some investors may be taking profit off the table following strong gains. For example, even after today's decline, the CBA share price is up over 38% since this time last year. This is more than triple the market return over the same period.
CBA股价下跌超过1.5%，至141.43美元。尽管澳大利亚最大银行没有发布任何消息，但值得注意的是，所有四大银行今天都在下滑。一些投资者可能会在强劲涨势后获利了结，例如，即使在今天的下跌后，CBA股价与去年同期相比上涨了38%以上，这超过了同期市场回报的三倍以上。
The NextDC share price is down almost 5% to $16.99. This morning, this data centre operator announced the completion of a $550 million institutional placement. These funds are being raised at $17.15 per new share, which represents a modest 3.9% discount to where the NextDC share price last traded. Combined with a $200 million share purchase plan, the proceeds will be used primarily for the acquisition of new data centre development sites in Asia.
NextDC股价下跌近5%，至16.99美元。这家数据中心运营商今天早上宣布完成了5,500万美元的机构配售，新股的发行价格为17.15美元，较NextDC股价上次交易价格有3.9%的折扣。结合2,000万美元的股权购买计划，所筹资金将主要用于在亚洲收购新的数据中心开发项目。
The REA Group share price is down 2% to $198.28. This follows news that the property listings company's $11 billion takeover offer for Rightmove (LSE: RMV) has been rejected. Given that the market was unsure about the transaction, with some analysts believing that it was overpaying, the prospect of REA Group returning with a higher offer could be setting off alarm bells. REA Group believes that its "proposal combines certainty of value, in cash, at a significant premium to recent trading while at the same time giving Rightmove shareholders the opportunity to benefit from the future value creation of the combined business." But Rightmove clearly doesn't agree.
REA集团股价下跌2％至198.28美元。此前的消息称，该房地产列表公司对Rightmove（伦敦证券交易所：RMV）的110亿美元收购要约已被拒绝。鉴于市场对此交易持不确定态度，一些分析师认为该公司出价过高，REA集团提出更高的要约可能引发警报。REA集团认为其"提议在现金方面结合了价值确定性，以及显著溢价的最新交易，同时提供了让Rightmove股东从合并业务的未来价值增长中受益的机会。"但显然Rightmove并不同意。
